Framed art, not an oil, Approximately 17"W X 25"H of a tree with forest in background
Done in 1909, acquired by my grandfather in 1938, has been passed down the family ever since. My father brought it to America around 1986. My parents and myself are Dutch immigrants.
Dear Rudy,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
The presented object appears to be a charcoal and pastel drawing on paper with the measurements of 25 x 17 inches. The drawing depicts the roots of a tree. It is signed by Dirk FILARSKI (1885-1964) and dated 1909.
Artworks of this artist were recently offered and sold on the international and national auction market.
This piece is in good condition and there are no serious damages visible.
An estimation would be between 800 to 1.200 USD.
This estimation is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and vary.
With kind regards,
Georg
