6 foot tall by 5 foot wide
Hello, this item is an early 20th century oil on canvas painting depicting a boxer with his trainer, executed in a Post-Impressionist manner and dated 1929 in New York. The composition, scale, and subject matter align with American social and sporting themes of the interwar period, when boxing imagery was widely explored. The surface shows a pointillist or broken brushstroke technique, with layered color application that suggests influence from late Impressionism rather than strict academic realism. The signature is present but not clearly legible from the images, which limits firm attribution. The overall execution is competent but not of a level that would immediately suggest a listed or well-documented artist without further verification. The large scale is a positive factor, though condition, varnish state, and any restoration would need to be assessed in person.
From a market perspective, unsigned or unidentified American paintings of this type and period, even at large scale, tend to trade within a modest range unless attribution can be confirmed. Comparable works with similar subject and quality typically sell between $400 and $1,200 USD, depending on decorative appeal and condition. Given the strong visual impact and size, this piece sits toward the middle to upper end of that range. A fair market value is $700 to $1,200 USD.
