The appraised work appears to be a watercolor, or possibly a lithographic print, executed by French artist Abel Renault (1903-1992). The image depicts a rural cityscape scene with cottages at the edges of the composition connected by a decorative bridge constructed over a body of water. Misty trees are placed along the water's edge. Renault appears to have been active in both Paris and other parts of France, and he typically focused on pastoral landscapes, rural street and genre scenes similar to the customer's work. The estimate provided is based on comparables recently offered and sold at auction. The appraised work's size, composition, medium and condition (based on images provided), as well as the artist's current auction market were taken into consideration when determining the estimate. In many cases, pricing for similar examples available on the primary (retail) market vary, and are often higher than secondary (auction) market examples.
