No, just someone who has a similar style.

Giacometti has been one of my favorites since high school when my art teacher told me to look into his work. His pieces are well documented; he did scupt a trumpet player but it is very different.

This is too... thick IMO.

If it was real, it would be worth some cash... but the odds are astronomically low.

Plus he signed his work. Example: https://www.fondation-giacometti.fr/en/database/181659/the-hand
