Child With A Dove is a key work in the Picasso and Modern British Art show at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, which opens on August 4.
The 1901 painting is now hanging on the walls of the gallery and it is understood that the Department for Culture, Media and Sport in London will soon impose an export bar on the painting, stopping a foreign collector from buying the painting and taking it overseas.
