Hi Jeremy, Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. I've not be able to find another artist with first - or last name - Fairfax who painted in this style but it is similar to other works by early 20th Century European artists. As a large painting by an unknown artist, the value is primarily decorative. Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is: Continental School, possibly French or Spanish, first half 20th Century Urban landscape oil on canvas signed FAIRFAX lower right 30 by 40 sight size; giltwood frame 36 by 48 inches CONDITION: appears to be in good condition PROVENANCE: inherited $1,000-1,500* *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.
