Dear Clare Hauxwell,

Thank you for your patience. Your work is a maritime oil painting on canvas depicting anchored boats. It measures 113 x 63 cm, and appears to be in good condition with minor staining and dust accretions to the surface as well as minor loss to right edge. The painting is attributable to Lucien Desmedt (French, 1919-1993) and is signed to the lower right.

Little is known of Desmedt's personal life, yet his works frequent the market. Unfortunately many of his works pass at auction, and few sell above 100€ . For this reason, we estimate the Fair Market Value of this work between 0€ and 200€ .

Thank you for your appraisal submission, and your patience during our website software issues.

Kind regards,
Charlotte B.
