Dear Lisa,
Thank you for your request. The presented object is a painting made in oil or acrylic paint on canvas with the measurements of 16 x 12 inches. It depicts a view over a bay with a three in the foreground and a ship in the background. The painting is signed with the name "Pourtless". Sadly no further information regarding the biography of this artist is mentioned in reference books or similar databases. This painting was made in the middle or second half of the 20th century.
This piece is in good condition and there are no serious damages visible.
An estimation would be between 60 to 120 USD.
This estimation is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and vary.
With best regards,
Georg
Why is the appraisal price of $80.00 - $160.00 different from the estimation of $60.00 - $120.00.
Dear Lisa,
The right estimation as mentioned in the text is 60-120 USD.
With kind regards,
Georg
Is this the official appraisal? It does not look like a professional appraisal such as the example on ValueMyStuff.
