This painting could be as old as 200 years. Any information you can give us would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely Richard Click here for the appraisal. A huge number of portraits painted over the centuries still come on the market today, particularly ones from the 17th and 18th centuries. Quality and the reputation of the artist make a desirable portrait.
Major names have significant value.
A decorative setting can help, too. You do not give a size, so determining value is difficult, and the amount of damage from what you think is fire damage is also needed.
