Hello Kimberly. Thank you for your appraisal inquiry with Mearto. I apologize for the delay in your appraisal and thank you for your patience. The item presented appears to be a charcoal drawing on paper, measuring 11 x 18 inches. The image appears to depict a crying child dressed in a lion costume (poor thing is so upset). The work appears to be initialed "KY" to the lower right region, possibly "XY." In the hopes to directly attribute the artist, I scanned signatures of listed artist with those initials and did not find a match. I'm sorry. However, the execution of the work appears to be quite nice.
The estimate provided is based on recent auction estimates and results of other comparable charcoal drawings not attributed to specific artists, depending on subject matter, dating to the 20th century. The estimate is contingent on a full condition report. Please note asking or dealer prices may vary. Thank you and please take care.
