Hi Efrain,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

Dennis Patrick Lewan (born 1948) is an American artist celebrated for his romanticized landscapes and nostalgic scenes that evoke the charm of bygone eras. Raised near Thorp, Wisconsin, Lewan developed an early passion for drawing, often sketching during school hours. Though largely self-taught, he pursued studies in architecture and design in Chicago, which influenced his meticulous attention to detail in his artwork .​

Lewan's paintings are renowned for their intricate depictions of idyllic settings, such as quaint cottages, serene gardens, and bustling village scenes. He often incorporates camouflaged images within his works, inviting viewers to engage more deeply with each piece. His style draws inspiration from the Old Masters, aiming to create immersive environments that viewers feel they could step into .

When Lewan's works of comparable size and composition have come to auction recently, they have sold for between $125-175.
