Painting of seemingly Madonna with a baby holding a rat. It has a very small tear in the canvas in the upper right corner.
30" high x 24" wide
My Uncle purchased this at and estate sale in the Berkley California area, strictly as an investment.
Dear Susan,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. My sincere apologies for the delay with the appraisal.
The presented object appears to be a painting made in oil or acrylic paint on canvas with 30 x 24 inches measurements. The painting depicts Madonna with Christ. This painting was made by Alexander E. Anderson and is signed and dated 1971. Sadly no additional information for this artist is given by reference books and databases.
Comparable objects by this artist were recently not offered and sold on the international auction market. Several paintings are provided on online-based platforms with asking prices.
This piece is in good condition and no severe damage is visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 1.000 to 2.200 USD.
This estimate is based on recently recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.
With kind regards,
George
