You came highly recommended to me. In no way am I trying to tell you how to go about your job but it is important that I address some frustrating issues from 2 reputable online appraisal services . I believe this info is helpful to anybody. There are 2 artists with the same name & conflicting dates but somewhat similar works. DOB & DOD: 1941-1997 & 1871-1920. The French artist Paul Renard 1941-1997 is known to sign his oil paintings with a capital "P" followed by a period then "Renard" now that I got that out of the way the first appraisal I received they said it was by Caroline Burnett. Although the works are similar, it is signed by Paul Bernard making it laughable. I was embarrassed for them so I said nothing and just look for another appraisal. That one came back as "unverifiable". Again, Im I'm sure you understand my frustrations for I could easily pointed out a dozen different pieces of the artist's work myself. This original oil painting by Paul Renard is a cityscape featuring a street in Paris depicted near landmark Notre Dame. Oil on canvas. Probably mid century 1970s production.
