This a John Pike forest-scene watercolor, the visible canvas measuring 26”w x 39”h, overall frame dimensions 39-1/2”w x 53”h
The framed painting was purchased by my father in the early 1960s.
Dear Ken,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
The presented object appears to be watercolor on paper with the measurements of 26”w x 39”h. This drawing depicts a forest with an old tree. This artwork was made by John PIKE (1911-1979) who made many elaborated watercolours. His artworks are recently sold and offered in the international auction market.
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 kind regards,
Georg
