Provenance

My Grand Father Served in WWII , After things calmed in Europe he was stationed there a while, He loved the art he was discovering in the war torn areas. He had a great appreciation for the simplicity of humans doing their best to survive. He told me he made acquaintances with Mr Kerchoff, helping him to re build his city with many others. My Grandfather was then ordered back home in the Us, After many years of keeping in contact with the artist , they met again on Houston 1963 as Kerchoff was a Guest at an exhibit. My grandfather house him for several weeks at his Houston Home before he returned to Europe. Every morning they painted while having biscutes and hatch coffee. This he left my grandfather

What does this mean?

Dear Mykel,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. My sincere apologies for the delay with the appraisal.

The presented object appears to be a painting made in oil or acrylic paint on canvas with 23 x 35
inches measurements. The painting depicts a flower still life and has the title "Polly's Pleasure. It is signed "Kerchoff" and dated (19)63. Sadly no additional information for an artist with this name fitting in style and motif is given by reference books and databases.

Comparable objects were recently not offered and sold on the international auction market.
This piece is in good condition and no severe damage is visible in the images.
A fair market estimation would be between 100 to 200 USD.
This estimate is based on recently recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.

With kind regards,
George
