73x53cm, framed, no glass. Scratched in a few places. Striking colors. Can you let me know who the artist is from the signature, and for sort of price I could expect for it at auction, or private sale to an interested buyer? Thanks.
Bought from a private seller in Europe.
Dear Laurent,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. My sincere apologies for the huge delay with the appraisal
The presented object appears to be a painting made in oil or acrylic paint on canvas with the measurements of 73 x 53 cm. The painting depicts a woman in a traditional dress of South America or Middle America in an abstracted style. It is signed with the name Aduna and was made in the second half of the 20th century. Sadly no additional information is given by reference books or databases.
Comparable objects were 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 250 to 500 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,
George
