Charcoal Drawing
A framed 9 1/2" X 9 1/2" charcoal drawing in original frame. The actual drawing itself is 5 3/4" wide by 5 1/2" tall of a woman playing a piano under what appears to be either candle light or lamp. The drawing is signed but I can't make out signature. A small sticker on the back of the frame says "Abbott's Art Gallery, 19 N Wabash Ave, Chicago". Paper on the back of frame is obviously old and brittle with minor ripping.

I found it in my Mothers belongings after she passed away. I have no knowledge of where it came from or why she had it.

Dear Ryan,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
The presented object appears to be a lithograph or aquatint print on paper with 9 1/2" X 9 1/2" inches measurements. The print depits an woman playing piano. The artwork is signed in the lower rigth corner beside the impression of the printing plate. Sadly the signature is not clearly visible. This print was made in the early 20th century.
Comparable objects were recently offered and sold on the international auction market.
This piece is in medium condition and no severe damage is visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 50 to 100 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,
Gregory
