Hi Bob,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
I'm not certain that this isn't a print but have valued it as if it were an original graphite/paper drawing; if it turns out to be a print, it would be worth less.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
Raphael Soyer (American, 1899-1987)
Untitled (Standing female nude)
graphite on paper
signed lower right
matted and framed, image 22 by 15 inches; framed 32 by 26 inches
CONDITION: appears to be in good condition
PROVENANCE: inherited
$200-300*
*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.
Are you looking at auction results websites or gallery/private dealer websites where the values are retail?
My value - and the values Mearto provides - are fair-market, for auction purposes, which are always lower than retail prices.
I am, of course, happy to reconsider my valuation if you've seen a comparable (in size, medium and subject matter) work that has sold at auction in the last 5 years. Please provide the link to that sale.
Thank you. I understand. I will research.
I sent additional images. This is a graphite on paper original. Most of Raphael Soyer paintings I see on line are lithographs asking for $500 or more. Very few are graphite on paper and these are in the $1,000 and much more range. My item is framed and larger than most. Can you reconsider your opinion and reply back. I want to list this for sale and want to be accurate. Thank you
