Dear Jason and Sophie Sperber,

Thank you for your appraisal submission. The work is a miniature oil painting on panel. It depicts a Continental School landscape with a field of wildflowers in the foreground and a lake and mountains in the background. The work is unsigned, and the origins are unknown. Based on medium, style, and condition, the painting is likely from the late 19th/early 20th century. Overall the work is in good condition with discoloration to the surface and frame abrasions to the edges. It measures 8 x 9 inches.

Without an artistic attribution, the Fair Market Value of this work is estimated by considering general sales trends of landscape paintings, paintings of similar style and age, its size and condition. Landscape paintings have a long record on the secondary market due to the tradition of the style. For works of this age, the artistic attribution is key for higher value items. Miniature paintings of this type tend to be less valuable, unless otherwise supported by their artistic attribution. For these reasons, we estimate the Fair Market Value of this work between $0 and $200.

Thank you for your appraisal submission.
Kind regards,
Charlotte B.
