What does this mean?

Dear Ilean,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

This undated oil painting appears to be by the German artist called Karl Franke. This is a village scene probably from Germany or the Alsace region (France). It is signed “Franke” on the lower left edge. Sight 34”h x 29 1/2”w. It is housed in a gold leaf frame, and it appears to be in good condition overall.

Sadly, very little has been written and published about his career as an artist, but his work is often offered at auction.

The estimation highlighted in red above is based on comparables offered and sold at auction in the last five years. The subject work’s size, the composition, condition (based on photographs and comments provided), and the artists’ current auction market were taken into consideration when determining the estimate. In many cases, pricing for similar items available on the primary (retail) market varies and is often higher than secondary (auction) market examples.

Best regards,

Karine
