“ El Paquete Azul” by Cándidos Bido, Acrylic 1988
My father bought this when he was an executive Working in the Dominican Republic in the late 80s / Early 90s. I do not think that there was any other owner. I inherited it when he passed away in November 2022. If possible, I would like the worth today and also for November 2022. I have several paintings like this that I would like to sell and others I am keeping. I do not see any defects to the painting or frame except there is a white line in the shirt , but there are also other white areas in the shirt so maybe that is intentional
24 x 30 inches without frame
Inherited
Yes

Comparable objects were rarely recently offered and sold on the international auction market.
This piece is in good condition and no severe damage is visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 2.500 to 5.000 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
