Hi Marquitta,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

I've checked this painting and the signature against all listed artists whose last names are Worth (as well as a few variations) and have found no matches close enough to warrant an attribution. This is not uncommon - some artists did not paint enough to have a large body of surviving work with sales records. In this case, valuations are based on the similarities of your painting to other paintings of similar size, subject matter and style. On its own merits, the bold use of color and juxtaposition of the radiating yellow around the dancer's upper body contrasts well with the vibrant and seeming motion of her red skirt.

Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:

International School, 20th Century
mid 20th Century
oil or acrylic on canvas
signed indistinctly lower right "--Worth"
32-1/2 by 21-1/2 inches
CONDITION: this painting appears to be in good condition
PROVENANCE: inherited
$400-600*
*represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary.

Please let us know if you have additional items to appraise, or questions/concerns, and thank you again for using Mearto.
