Painting in frame covered by glass
My father has had this picture for the last 50 years and that is all I know about it.
Dear Fern - Greetings! Thank you for submitting to Mearto. You have an early 20th century lithograph after an oil painting completed in 1922 by Maxfield Parrish titled, "Daybreak". The frame looks to be original to the period. This print is regarded as one of the most popular images of the 20th century.
Similar sized examples with the original frames currently average between $100 - $150 at well publicized auctions, although on bad days they have sold as low as $50USD.
If you have any follow-up questions, please let me know and again, thank you for taking the time to call upon the services at Mearto.
Sincerely- Erin-Marie
sorry just wanted to confirm when you say lithograph you do mean a copy of the original painting, correct? Thanks.
thank you very much for your appraisal. Have a good day.
