Dear Kathy,

Thank you for the additional images and your patience. The presented object is a watercolor on paper with unknown measurements. It depicts an abstract motif and is signed with the name Bacon. The artist could be identified with Mabel Bacon BACON (1861-1944) who mainly worked in a realistic style. Sadly no further information regarding the biography of this artist is mentioned in reference books or similar databases.
This piece is in good condition and there are no serious damages visible.
An estimation would be between 40 to 80 USD.
This estimation is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and vary.

With best regards,
Georg
