I have a picture of the item but am not physically located near it so don't have dimensions but picture is fairly clear.
I am appraising this item for an estate. It was purchased long ago from a dealer but I have no other information. I am the executor of the estate and need some values
Dear Frances,
Thank you for contacting us once again with another appraisal inquiry.
The item presented appears to be a rather large still life composition by the female artist called Hermione Walker Stevens (Georgia, 20th century). it is signed on the lower right edge, and it appears to be in good condition overall.
Sadly, after checking our records it seems that this particular artist is rarely offered on the auction market, and the most recent auction result that we have is for a painting sold in 2013. Therefore, the estimate highlighted in red has been based according to the following criteria, which are the most recent existing auction market, the subject work’s size, the composition and the condition based on photographs and comments provided.
In many cases, please note that pricing for similar items available on the primary (retail) market vary and are often higher than secondary (auction) market examples.
Best regards,
Karine
