Hello Frederick,
Thank you for your appraisal inquiry with Mearto. I apologize for the delay in your appraisal and thank you for your patience. The item presented appears to be an lithographic illustration with hand-coloring of a shoe design after an ink drawing by Andy Warhol (1928-1987). The image is known as "Lead A Shoe To Water" with the full title being "Lead A Shoe To Water But You Can't Make It Drink." The image was included in portfolio of shoe designed titled "A la Recherche du Shoe Perdu," published in 1955. The print appears to be signed "Andy Warhol" and includes stamps to the verso. While the print appears to be signed, signature authentication is encouraged as the signature here is unlike other authentic examples.
The estimate provided is based on recent auction estimates and results of this work and other comparable unsigned prints from the "A la Recherche du Shoe Perdu" portfolio by Warhol. The estimate is contingent on a full condition report and its authenticity. Please note asking or dealer prices may vary. Thank you and please take care.
