Hi John,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
I thought there was a K, and have done more checking but can't come up with a conclusive enough match to make an attribution; this is not uncommon. Despite access to several online artist databases, more recent artists, or ones with a limited production, may not show up in the records. When that's the case, we base our valuation on comparable works by unknown artists of similar size and age.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:

American or European School, 20th Century
Still life with Flowers in a vase, and a charger
oil on canvas
signed indistinctly lower right
34 by 40 inchs
CONDITION: 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, and thank you again for using Mearto.
