Hello Deann, Thank you for your appraisal inquiry with Mearto. The item presented appears to be an oil painting on canvas or canvas board. The work depicts a clown dressed in bright yellow and wild hair. The painting appears to be signed "Denton" to the lower right corner. After several database searches, no signature matched the surname of Denton as seen on the painting here. Therefore, it is safe to assume the painting was produced by an unlisted amateur artist. The work appears to date to the 1980s based on the images uploaded. The estimate provided is based on recent auction estimates and results of other comparable oil paintings depicting clowns that are not attributed to listed artists, dating to the 1980s and 1990s. The estimate is contingent on a full condition report. Please note asking or dealer prices may vary. Thank you and please take care.
