Dear Maggie,

Thank you for your request and your patience. The apprised object is a painting made in oil or acrylic paint on canvas with the measurements of 35 x 62 inches. It depicts a still life with fruits and flowers on a table. The painting is signed by Lawrence Backer. Sadly no further information of the biography is mentioned for this artist in auction records or similar databases.
This piece is in good condition but there is a scratch on the surface of the canvas in the region of the signature.
An estimation would be between 150 to 300 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
