Hello, this item is an abstract composition on vellum paper attributed to the American artist Syd Solomon (1917–2004). Solomon was a prominent figure in post-war American abstraction, often associated with lyrical abstraction and color field painting. The work here measures 12 x 16 inches and shows gestural brushstrokes with layered color blocks, in line with his dynamic style that combined spontaneity with structured design. The paper shows some yellowing, which is consistent with age. Based on the provided information, it is unclear whether this piece is a watercolor or a print, as Solomon produced both original works on paper and editions. Close inspection under magnification or by a specialist could clarify whether pigment sits on the surface (indicating print) or penetrates the fibers (indicating watercolor).

If confirmed as an original watercolor or gouache on paper by Solomon, the value would typically range between 3,000 and 7,000 USD depending on condition and provenance. Limited edition prints or lithographs by Solomon, especially those on vellum paper, usually range from 400 to 1,200 USD at auction. The current condition, with slight yellowing, does not significantly detract from the piece’s value but should be considered. Authentication and confirmation of medium would be key in establishing its true market range.
