Very very old oil on canvas painting by George Armfield who was born in 1808 and died in 1893. This particular painting was c1840-1875. Does have a rip in canvas and some damage on framing. 17.5" x 15"T. Also in this offering is a print by John A Ruttman, no frame and is signed by artist and is #125 of 750 prints. It is 24" x 22". Also a portrait of a dog, under glass 17" x 15". This is up for auction this week I was just wanting to know its value since it does have major damage to it. Thank you

Thank you for submitting your item for appraisal. This appears to be a painting by George Armfield, depicting a dog of unknown breed standing in a barn. Compared to other paintings by Armfield this is a rather quiet one, more a dog portrait. The tear can be restored, but all the other smaller damages where the paint flakes off are quite time consuming. So if you have an expert restorer who works for a friendly smile you could take the chance. If not, rather not. The high estimate is based on similar paintings in good condition sold at auctions recently.
