Dear Mayur,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
The presented object appears to be a watercolor on paper with the measurements of 75 x 55 cm. The drawing depicts a Nordic landscape with a snowy coastline and has the title "Glaciers". It was made and signed by the artist Allen SHUTTLEWORTH (XIX-XX).
Works by this artist were recently offered and sold on the international auction market.
This piece is in medium condition and there are stains visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 200 to 400 USD.
This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.
With kind regards,
Georg
Dear Mayur,
Dear Mayur,
We adapt our estimations to actual and reached auction results of the last years. This process mirrors a comparative value and mirrors and actual market situation. This means also that an object should not just be adapted to the highest hammer prices and you also have to see the mid-range and low range hammer prices to define an adequate estimate.
With kind regards,
Georg
The Srinagar item was 28 paintings!
One of his paintings was sold for $4,307.00, called "From Srinagar to Kashgar - May 13th to June 18th 1908" so I feel this work should be worth a lot more
