Hi again Jonathan, Thank you for your appraisal inquiries with Mearto. The item presented appears to be an acrylic painting on foam board by Helen Salzberg (New York, born 1923) depicting an abstract expressionist style still life. Salzberg is best known for her reverse glass paintings, typically of Jewish genre scenes. The subject matter here is quite uncommon for the artist work, as seen on the market but does show inspiration from Matisse. The estimate provided is based on recent auction estimates and results of other comparable paintings on board by Salzberg, but depicting her more common genre scenes. The estimate is contingent on a full condition report. Please note asking or dealer prices may vary. Thank you and please take care.
