Dear Simon,

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

The presented object appears to be a painting made in oil on board with the measurements of 28 x 20 inches. The painting depicts a still life with fruits and appears to be made and signed by the artist Mikhail CHEMIAKIN (1943) and dated 1965. This artwork differs in motif and style to ensured artworks of Mikhail CHEMIAKIN (1943).
Works by this artist 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 for an authentified artwork would be between 5.000 to 10.000 USD.
This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.

Because of the differences to ensured works and the high potential value, this artwork requires further authentication research. This estimate is provided on the condition of authenticity.

With kind regards,
Georg
