Dear Linda,

Thank you for calling upon the experts at Mearto to evaluate your oil on canvas painting by American portraiture artist Lawrence Williams (1913 - 2002).

Williams was a prolific artist and at one time employed six full time artists to keep up with the demands on his studio for commissioned portraits (http://articles.latimes.com/1992-07-24/news/va-3896_1_painting-portraits).

His work is widely collected and well-known and while he did complete a series of the presidents, actors and singers occupy the majority of the highest auction results. While some of his portraits are in the $200USD range, oil paintings similar to yours average between $650 and $1200USD at auction.

Kindest Regards,

Erin-Marie
