Thank you for submitting your item for appraisal. This appears to be a painting by Henry WOODS (1846-1921), depicting the most iconic venice view, the St Mark's Square or Piazza San Marco. The painting is of good size and the sunny atmosphere should appeal to collectors. The Christies provenance and the fact that the painting is fresh to the market should add some value. Currently prices for Henry Woods painting rarely exceed the 20000 GBP threshold. The estimate is based on similar paintings by the artist offered or sold at auction. A beautiful painting with lots of potential.
