Dear Ilean, Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. The presented object appears to be a pair of small-sized paintings made in oil paint on canvas with unknown measurements. Both paintings depict flower still lives and are signed with the name Pierry. Sadly no further information regarding the biography of this artist is mentioned in reference books or similar databases. On one side Pierry is a common name especially in France and on the other side, there is a possibility that the name is a nom de plume, and these paintings were made as decorative objects in Asia. China developed in the 1960s and a very successful art industry that exported oil painting to the Western world. These paintings were made in the second half of the 20th century. Nevertheless, these paintings are very decorative and could be sold in an auction. Works by this artist were recently not offered and sold on the international auction market. This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided. A fair market estimation would be between 150 to 400 USD. This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary. With kind regards, Georg
