Appraisal Report
This is a framed artwork depicting a vibrant park scene, reportedly signed by the artist Leonid Afremov (1955-2019). Afremov was known for his distinctive palette knife technique and colorful impressionistic landscapes and cityscapes. The scene with the bench, streetlights, and reflections is characteristic of his popular works. The value greatly depends on whether this piece is an original oil painting, a studio recreation (painted by Afremov or studio artists), or a giclee print. Original oils fetch significantly higher prices (thousands of USD) than reproductions. Afremov's studio produced and sold numerous recreations and prints, making them widely available. Without verification of the medium (oil, print, recreation), size, and provenance, this appraisal assumes it is a commonly available signed print or studio recreation in good condition. The framing appears standard for decorative purposes. The estimated value reflects the secondary market for such reproductions.
