Dear Chadwick,
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 print on fabric with measurements of 18 x 14 inches. The print depicts a soldier in a costume of the 17th century lightening his pipe. The print is signed with the name Jacq(ues) Fagaul? by hand. This piece was made in the late 19th or early 20th century. Sadly no additional information for an artist with this name 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 good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 30 to 60 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
Is there anything you can tell me about this. Like who the artist is or anything? Thanks in advance.
