This is an original 20th century painting of a seascape scene during sunset that is signed C. Puntis. The scene is identified as the Pay of Palma in Mallorca, Spain. The artist is cited as Carlos Puntis who is unlisted, meaning his works do not have a collector following on the secondary market. It would be somewhat unusual for a museum to sell paintings and was more likely purchased through an art gallery exhibition. The method of creating the image is somehwat derivative of Pointillism, however it is not directly in the manner or Pointilliism. It is a unique method for adding color and cohesion of the images. The estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail 'asking prices' can be higher and vary.
