Thank you for submitting your item for appraisal. This appears to be a paiting by Frank Faulkner (1946), most likely dating to the early 1990s. Paintings by Faulkner have been offered and sold at auction repeatedly in the past years. Most paintings sold were of very large size, the painting in your possession is surprisingly small. In today´s society and living situations this might even be an advantage. Small is beautiful. The estimate is based on auction results of similar sold. There is no measurement for the sentimental value you might attach to the item.
