The presented object appears to be a painting made in oil or acrylic paint on canvas with 26 x 20 inches measurements. The painting depicts Saint Lucia with her attribute of an eye. This painting was made by Alex Anderson and is signed and dated 1977. Sadly no additional information for this artist is given by reference books and databases. Comparable objects by this artist were recently not offered and sold on the international auction market. Several paintings are provided on online-based platforms with asking prices. This piece is in good condition and no severe damage is visible in the images provided. A fair market estimation would be between 1.000 to 2.000 USD. This estimate is based on recently recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary. With kind regards, George
