Marcel - boats
08 June 2020
Description

My father who was an avid art collector bought this painting in France (I think, but definitely Europe) in the 1960's. It is 120cm x 68cm (painting itself is 102cm x 50cm) Oil on Canvas. It appears it did have a Certification sticker on the back however it has been lost throughout the years. The frame is made from a Hemp or Bamboo type material. The painting itself is in perfect condition and signed by "Marcel"

What does this mean?

Dear Jeanette,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

The presented object appears to be a painting made in oil paint on canvas with the measurements of 102 cm x 50 cm. The painting depicts boats in an abstracted cubist style. It is signed with the name "Marcel". Sadly no further information regarding the biography of this artist is mentioned in reference books or similar databases. This painting was made in the late 1950s or 1960s.
Works by this artist were recently not offered and sold on the international auction market.
This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 300 to 500 USD.
This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.

With kind regards,
Georg
