Oil on canvas still life farm
Gift from uncle he is the original owner
Hi Elizabeth,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. So that I may best assist you, can you please advise on the dimensions (height and width)?
Thanks to advise when you can,
Delia
Thanks!
I've spent a couple of hours checking the signature against all of the "Hamilton" artists (both first and last names) in several artist databases I've access to but unfortunately have not been able to make a match to any on file. In most cases, that means that the artist has a small body of signed work and simply isn't 'registered' or about whom not much is known.
Is your uncle still alive to provide any additional information about the artist, that might be helpful.
It is not uncommon for works to be unattributed. In cases like this, we typically value based on the similarities in subject, medium and size to other unattributed works offered recently at auction.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
American School, 20th Century
Primitive still life (flower pots, teddy bear, heart wreath and duck decoys on a table-top against a quilt background), signed Hamilton (C) lower right
oil on canvas, 16 by 22 inches, framed
PROVENANCE: gift to client from uncle, the original owner
$200-300*
*represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary.
Thank you! I’d like to sell. Advice?
