PARIS: For aspiring art collectors everywhere, there is hope.

Sotheby’s Paris is giving away a $1 million masterpiece by Pablo Picasso for just $138 in an unusually affordable charity raffle Wednesday.

The 1914 work “Man in the Opera Hat,” which features vivid shapes in opaque gouache paint, dates from the Spanish master’s cubist period.

Raffle tickets — limited to 50,000 — have been available online since April.

The International Association for the Safeguard of Tyr owns the Picasso, and hopes to raise $6.9 million to protect the ancient Lebanese city of Tyr, a UNESCO heritage site.

The painter’s grandson, Olivier Picasso, said in a statement that his grandfather, who died in 1973, would have been “amused to participate in an event like this.”
