Dear Javier,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. My sincere apologies for the delay with the appraisal.
The presented object appears to be a gouache on cardboard with measurements of 9 x 7 inches. The artwork depicts a landscape with shepherds. Such motifs and fast brush strokes are very common in the late 18th and 19th centuries in France and there are no hard arguments to attribute these drawings to Camille Jean-Baptiste COROT (1796-1875).
Comparable objects were recently offered and sold on the international auction market.
This piece is in medium condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 100 to 200 USD.
This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.
With kind regards,
George
The painting is 7 by 9 cm. and is mounted on a hard piece of cardboard, I did not try to unglue it..... taking it out of the frame made all the paper tape crumble, and the nails and coper wire in the assembly are consistent with the antiquity of the piece
Yes certainly....
