Dear Francene,
Thank you for your help and patience. My sincere apologies for the delay with the appraisal.
The presented object appears to be a lithograph print on paper with 30 x 24
inches measurements. This botanical print depicts a Paeonia suffruticosa flower and was made after a watercolor by the British artist Rodella Anne Purves (6 July 1945 – 17 January 2008). This print has the edition of 106/375 and is hand-signed by the artist.
Comparable objects were recently offered and sold on the international auction market.
This piece is in medium condition and there is a color loss and light damage is 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
Dear George,
Thank you so much for your thorough art appraisal, but I must tell you, I will be removing the picture offline today because of it's low appraisal price. I have been offered much more than that, and I think I will go somewhere else to sell.
I appreciate your time, effort & help, but the cost of this Lithograph & the professional framing, was far more than the asking appraisal, causing me to change my mind for sale online. Once again, thank you for all your appreciated assistance. I will be taking it offline today.
Sincerely yours,
Francene Schanstine
