Tête de femme (1941) is the work at stake in this special international lottery,\ u00A0eta  has a value in the art market of about 1 million euros . specifically  is a portraitof theFrench artist known as Dora Maar .

The draw, organized by the Fondation Recherche Alzheimer's Associationthat promotes Alzheimer's research, combines attraction and solidarity to have a well-known work by one of the world's leading artists, a neurodegenerative disease that affects 35 million people worldwide , and aims to fund scientific projectsbased on this neurodegenerative disease that occurs in old age.

However, this is not the first time this initiative has been carried out. In previous editions , about EUR 10 million has been raised for various charitable reasons, with multiple winners, such as a young American or an Italian with accounting experience.
