16 and inches long 12 inches high oil painting
Original oil by Peterson Registry # 614-90 from Collier Art
Dear Diane,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
The presented object appears to be a painting made in oil or acrylic paint on canvas with the measurements of 12 x 16 inches. The painting depicts a beach scene with dunes and seagulls, painted in a somewhat haphazard style. It is signed with the name Peterson. Sadly no further information regarding the biography of this artist is mentioned in reference books or similar databases. There is a possibility that this name is an alias because such paintings are typical of artworks made as decorative art in Asia in the last third of the 20th century.
This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided. A fair market estimation would be between 60 to 120 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 Diane,
Thank you for your email. We have many of these China paintings offered and I have seen a lot of those. They are very typical in this fast style to paint and more made for decorative purposes.
With kind regards,
Georg
How can you value something you cant even find information on, I feel your expertise is lacking and feel that this site is lacking in knowledge, so you just throw some random price,
