Hello, this item is an original small oil on board attributed to Aaron Bohrod, titled Two Calves & Two Birds, executed in his characteristic whimsical realist style with animals, birds, layered space, and a slightly surreal narrative arrangement. Bohrod was an American painter known for regionalist subjects, still lifes, trompe l’oeil works, and intimate compositions that often combine technical precision with playful observation. The signature appears integrated into the painted surface, and the reported 1976 purchase from Frank J. Oehlschlager Gallery adds useful provenance. The subject matter and scale place this in the more modest part of Bohrod’s market compared with his larger, more complex trompe l’oeil paintings, but the artist recognition, oil medium, gallery provenance, and decorative appeal support collector interest.
Condition appears generally stable from the photographs, though the frame shows visible surface wear, rubbing, and losses to the finish. The painting itself should be inspected outside the frame to confirm surface condition, signature, and any gallery labels or inscriptions. Assuming the work is original and the attribution to Bohrod is confirmed, the fair market value is approximately $1,200 - $2,800 USD.
