This is a John Gould "hand colored," litho of three hummingbirds that I rescued at an estate sale. One side of the picture hangar is loose and that along with a chip on the frame made it less popular. It is beautiful. The hummingbirds appear lighter than air. It's so whimsical. It measures 29 x 38 inches for the full framed piece, and 18 x 26 inches for the actual unframed piece.
Unknown origin. Forgotten or overlooked art.
Fair Market Value
Hello Rhonda,
Thank you for your appraisal inquiry with Mearto. The item presented appears to be a photo-offset lithograph after a hand-colored lithograph titled "Urosticte Ruficrissa" by John Gould (English, 1804 – 1881) and William Hart (English, 1830 – 1908). The estimate provided is based on recent auction estimates and results of this work and other comparable photo-offset lithographs after works by Gould. The estimate is contingent on a full condition report. Please note asking or dealer prices may vary. Thank you and please take care. Happy New Year.
Thank you!
