This is a framed canvas oil painting. Artist signature W. Hoffman. Canvas size is 24" x 36" - framed size is 32" x 45". Subject is landscape - stream with trees, yellows and greens.
This painting hung in my in-laws home for many years. They are both deceased, and I didn't want to throw it out or donate it without learning if it holds any value. No one knows where it came from, originally.

Therefore, the estimate highlighted in red has been based according to the following criteria, which are the most recent existing auction market, the subject work’s size, the composition and the condition based on photographs and comments provided.
In many cases, please note that pricing for similar items available on the primary (retail) market vary and are often higher than secondary (auction) market examples.
