This is a painting of two children and a dog signed J. Pairman 1822. Including the frame it measures 22x25. The image itself is 16.5x19.5. Although the artist appears to be Scottish, it was hanging in a family home in Memphis, TN for most of the 20th century- unclear where it came from before that.
Hanging in my great grandmother's house in Memphis, TN from at least 1930 to 1990, then in my parents' house in Rome, GA, where it is still located.
Dear Catherine,
Thank you for your request. The presented object is a painting made in oil paint on canvas with the measurements of 16.5 x 19.5 inches. It depicts two sitting children with flowers in a wide landscape. The sense of this motif is mysterious and meant as an allegory. The painting is signed with the name "J. Pairmann" and dated with "1822".
The signature can be identified with the Scottish artist John PAIRMAN (1788-1843).
This piece is in good condition and there are no serious damages visible.
An estimation would be between 300 to 600 USD.
This estimation is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and vary.
With best regards,
Georg
