Hello, this item is Jazz Night, an original large-format acrylic painting on canvas by American contemporary artist Cecil Bernard, signed and dated June 30, 2001. The composition depicts four jazz musicians performing with guitar, double bass, saxophone, and horn, rendered through heavily textured paint, energetic outlines, splattered passages, and vivid contrasting colors. The subject, technique, and expressive treatment align closely with Bernard’s established body of jazz and music paintings, which the artist describes as centred on color, texture, spontaneity, and movement.

The painting appears to be in good overall condition and, at approximately 64 by 57 inches, ranks as a substantial and visually commanding example. Comparable Cecil Bernard jazz paintings measuring approximately 55 inches have carried auction estimates of $1,500 to $2,000, while his broader secondary market varies considerably according to size, subject, condition, and provenance. The unusually large scale, desirable jazz subject, clear signature and date, and apparent direct connection to the artist support a value above smaller secondary-market examples, although the valuation remains below current primary-gallery asking prices.

Fair Market Value: $1,800 - $3,000 USD
