Hi Luke, Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. Several of Namatjira's watercolor landscapes of similar size and composition have brought between AUD$30,000-40,000 at auction but yours has some condition issues - brown spots (toning and foxing) - that decrease it's value. Also, the value assumes that this is an original work on paper and not a print reproduction (if that's the case, this would have a value of AUD$500-800). Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is: Albert Namatjira (Australian, 1902-1959) Untitled (mountain landscape with gum tree in the foreground) watercolor on paper matted and framed signed lower right, above the mat line 350mm by 500mm (13 3/4 by 19 5/8 inches) CONDITION: with toning and foxing PROVENANCE: inherited AUD $20,000-30,000* *represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary. Please let us know if you have additional items to appraise, and thank you again for using Mearto.
