Old oil painting 18" high by 14" wide painted on, looks like two cloths. Very fragile, not in a frame, has some damage to corners and some flecking off in a couple spots. I don't see any brush marks. The whole picture has like small cracks throughout. No obvious signature or date.
Don't know
Dear Daniel,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. My sincere apologies for the delay with the appraisal.
The presented object appears to be a painting made in oil paint on board with the measurements of 18 x 14 inches. The painting depicts Madonna holding Jesus Christus in her arms. Both figures are facing each other. This painting was probably made in Italy or Continental Europe in the 18th century by an unknown painter.
Sadly no additional information for an artist fitting in style and motif is given by reference books and databases.
Comparable objects were recently offered and sold on the international auction market.
This piece is in medium condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 400 to 800 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,
George
Mr. George, have you looked at photos. Just curious, haven't heard any thing.
If you need more or better ones let me know. Thanks dan
