Dear Djordje,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

This undated oil painting called on the reverse "L'ETE" ("the Summer') is a copy of an original painting by the French artist Nicolas Lancret (1690-1743) held at the Louvre in Paris. https://art.rmngp.fr/fr/library/artworks/nicolas-lancret_l-ete_huile-sur-toile

This is a beautifully detailed painting depicting a figurative landscape outdoors and measuring 16”h x 20”w. It is housed in a dark wooden frame and appears to be in good condition overall.

The estimation highlighted in red above is based on comparables offered and sold at auction in the last five years. The subject work’s size, the composition, condition (based on photographs and comments provided), as well as the artists’ current auction market were taken into consideration when determining the estimate. In many cases, pricing for similar items available on the primary (retail) market vary and are often higher than secondary (auction) market examples.

Best regards,

Karine
