What does he need?

Dear Scott,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. So that I may best assist you, can you please upload a few better, focused, and close-up images of the surface of the artwork to judge the technique? Thank you for your help.

With kind regards,
Georg

It is in my house in North Dakota and I am in Mexico till June. Is it ok to send more pictures then?

Dear Scott,

Thank you for your email and I hope you had a good start to the week. I am quite sure that this is not a painting or chalk drawing and I think this is a print. I wanted to have the close-up images for additional and second assurance. Of course, you can send the images in June but keep in mind that this is with a very high possibility and print after a dawing by Raoul Dufy and not an original.

With kind regards,
Georg

What is a print worth?

Dear Scott,

Thank you for your email and patience. This is a print probably in offset technique after a watercolor or drawing by Raoul Dufy. It is framed and has measurements of 12 x 38 inches. This print was made in the second half of the 20th century and is obviously not directly authentified by Dufy because it is not signed or numbered. Such prints are usually sold between 20 to 40 USD.

With kind regards,
Georg
