What to document first
For Eric Sloane artwork, start by separating original paintings, drawings, prints, and reproductions. Medium, surface, inscription, and subject matter drive the first appraisal questions.
Photograph the signature, verso, labels, stretcher or frame, paper edges, condition issues, and any old invoices or gallery records. Do not rely on a signature alone when medium and provenance are unclear.
Value factors
Value depends on attribution, originality evidence, condition, rarity, subject matter, date, completeness, and buyer demand. The strongest appraisal file keeps confirmed facts separate from assumptions and explains any uncertainty plainly.
No public market evidence are asserted here. Use verified sold records, specialist databases, and object-specific evidence before relying on any market range.
When to request an appraisal
Request a professional appraisal when the object may be insured, donated, sold, inherited, divided in an estate, or reported for tax purposes. Include provenance and condition photographs so the appraiser can decide whether a desktop review is sufficient or additional inspection is needed.
