Dear Richard,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

This undated oil painting appears to be by the Postwar and Contemporary French artist Jean-Claude Tron (b.1943). This is a sea view signed on the lower right edge. It measures 32”h x 28”w, and it is framed. The condition appears to be very good overall.

Jean-Claude Tron is best well known for his landscapes of the southern region of France, which remains his main source of inspiration. His work can be found in several private and public collections.

The estimation highlighted in red above is based on comparables offered and sold at auction in the last five years. The subject work’s size, the composition, condition (based on photographs and comments provided), as well as the artists’ current auction market were taken into consideration when determining the estimate.

Please note that pricing for similar items available on the primary (retail) market vary and are often higher than secondary (auction) market examples.

Best regards,

Karine
