What you have is a print, meaning a reproduction of the original and these things usually aren't worth very much.

However, the exceptions to the rule are what are called 'limited edition' prints. If your print is a limited edition of an original Picasso (example: if the copy says something like '#100 out of 250" or #17 out of 100) then, because it is a limited edition Picasso, it would be worth at least a few grand. If your print is a signed (by the artist) limited edition Picasso then you're talking about a lot more money.

What other information, besides just the word '100' is on the print? Look carefully at the back of the frame for more details. Most limited edition prints have 'Certification' information on the back of the framing.

Well, the information I found seems to indicate it last sold at over 6 million dollars.

"Another very fine Picasso is Lot 45, "The Lovers," a delightful, colorful and lively oil on canvas, 38 5/8 by 51 5/8 inches, painted in 1932. The work was formerly in the collection of Elise Sackler and has a conservative estimate of $6,000,000 to $8,000,000. It sold for $6,331,000."

Here's a poster rendition of the painting: http://www.allposters.com/-sp/Masterworks-of-Art-The-Lovers-Posters_i387199_.htm
Hope this helps!
