Dear Renata,

Thank you for contacting us once again with another appraisal inquiry.

The item presented appears to be a nautical scene by the Belgian artist called Edmond François HEIRMAN (1869-1957). It signed “Ed. Heirman” on the lower left edge. It is housed in a woodern frame. The condition is very good overall condition.

After checking our records, it seems that this particular artist is rarely offered on the auction market. The most recent auction result is for a painting sold last May in Belgium and in 2016 in the United Kingdom. Therefore, the estimate highlighted in red has been based on the following criteria: the most recent existing auction records, the subject work’s size, the composition and the condition based on photographs and comments provided.

In many cases, please note that pricing for similar items available on the primary (retail) market vary and are often higher than secondary (auction) market examples.

Best regards,

Karine
