Picture of Prentice (I have no title information)
Hello Approximate sizes: width: about 50 cm, height: about 30 cm, depth: about 2 cm. It is painted on canvas. It has an old wood frame. That's what I know. I hope you help me with the evaluation. Thanks in advance. Greetings Anton
I bought it from a carb in the UK, a place where every Sunday the people in the town where I worked sell old things. I don't remember very well the person I bought it from. That's what I know

Dear Anton,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
The presented object appears to be a painting made in oil or acrylic paint on canvas with the measurements of 30 x 50 cm. The painting depicts a winter scene with ice-skating people in costumes of the late 19th century. In the right lower corner a signature is visible "J. Prentice, July, 83". The painting itself and the canvas are a hint that this piece was made in the second half of the 20th century. Sadly no further information regarding the biography of this artist is mentioned in reference books or similar databases.
Works by this artist were not recently offered and sold on the international auction market.
This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 40 to 80 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,
Georg

And lastly, ask:
Is the picture visible to other site visitors?
Is it possible for me in the future to receive a suggestion from someone who has viewed it on your site?

Thanks in advance

Hello again.
Thanks for the assessment.
In the picture information, you mention that it was made in the second half of the 20th century. The information I have is that the author created it in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
On the path of logic, it turns out that the picture was created in the late 19th century. Is that right or am I mistaken?
I'll be glad to hear from you.
Thanks in advance.
Greetings Anton
