FOR THE ART YOU DON’T KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT.
Before you
let it go,
know what
you have.
A family painting. An offer you’re unsure about.
Find out what it is—and what a fair value looks like.
Others come with questions.
OPEN A REAL SAMPLE ↗Not every work
comes with a name.
These published reports show how an appraisal handles a possible attribution—or no maker’s name at all.
Two real reportsSwipe to explore →
Open the signed report ↗A possible artist.
A careful attribution.
The report says “attributed to Otto Eerelman” and records the incomplete signature and unexamined reverse.
WHAT YOU CAN SEE / Evidence and uncertainty together
Open the signed report ↗An unknown maker.
Still a work to research.
This report describes the carving, material and visible wear, while leaving its maker, age and origin unresolved.
WHAT YOU CAN SEE / Research without inventing a nameActual published sample objects. Each report states its own scope and limitations; yours will depend on the evidence available.
“I don’t want to
get this wrong.”
Open a real signed report.
See what turns uncertainty into a decision.
Compare sold prices.
Then account for the differences.
We research relevant sales and explain how attribution, condition and the work itself affect the conclusion.
$7,500 concluded value
fair market value
Four representative sales of comparable works. No exact composition match. This sample’s value does not predict yours.
A family story is a start.
We look for supporting evidence.
Photographs, materials, marks and condition guide the research. What we cannot establish stays visible.
“Attributed to”
Otto Eerelman—not authenticated authorship.
The report notes the incomplete signature and unexamined reverse. It doesn’t turn missing evidence into certainty.
Give the conversation
a documented starting point.
A human-signed PDF puts the object, research, value and limitations together for your records or an adviser’s review.
A named signer.
A stated purpose. A written conclusion.
For insurance, choose replacement-value documentation and check your insurer’s requirements first.
Sample subject: pastoral painting attributed to Otto Eerelman. Report contents vary with the object, available evidence and intended use.
You shouldn’t need
to become an art detective.
01 / LOOK AT THE SURFACEIllustrative views · signature and reverse are AI-created · not sample-report evidence
“Is it an original or a print?”
We examine the surface, signature and labels. If the photographs don’t settle it, we say what’s missing.
IN YOUR REPORT / Identification & condition notes“Online prices are all over the place.”
We check sold records and explain which comparisons matter. An asking price alone isn’t a valuation.
IN YOUR REPORT / Comparable sales & rationale“I need more than someone’s guess.”
An appraiser reviews the evidence and signs a conclusion with its purpose and limitations.
IN YOUR REPORT / Signed value conclusionPhone photos. The history you know.
“I don’t know” is a perfectly good starting point.
The detail.
The reasoning.

What if it turns out not to be valuable?
That can still be useful before spending on restoration or agreeing to sell. You pay for the research and supported conclusion; low value alone does not qualify for a refund.
Can you prove who painted it?
Not always. A value appraisal is not automatically authentication. We state what is supported and when physical inspection or a specialist authority may be needed.
Which photos should I send?
Front, back, signature, labels, texture, size and any damage. Start with what you have. We ask for more information when needed.
Can I appraise several works together?
Yes. Add each artwork as a separate item in one order, with its own photos and notes. Review the total before checkout.
