Dear Jonathan, Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. This undated oil painting appears to be by the Dutch artist Dorus (Theodorus) van Oorschot (1910-1989). This is a still life with maize, Chinese lantern, fruits and a jug. It is signed “Th v Oorschot ” on the lower right edge. Sight 38”h x 20”w. It is housed in a frame and appears to be in good condition overall. 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, composition, condition (based on photographs and comments provided), and the artists’ current auction market were considered when determining the estimate. In many cases, pricing for similar items available on the primary (retail) market vary and are often higher than secondary (auction) market examples. Best regards, Karine
