Appraisal Report
This is a painting depicting a man, woman, and child likely engaged in agricultural or harvesting work, due to the rake and bag being carried. The style appears to be folk art or naive art, characterized by simple forms and a directness of expression. The signature suggests the artist's name is Paul and the year is 1981. Without further information about the artist "Paul" (their provenance, exhibition history, market demand), it's challenging to provide a precise value. The value is primarily derived from the aesthetic appeal and potential collectibility as an example of 20th-century folk art. If this is a known folk artist, the value could be higher. However, assuming it's a lesser-known or amateur artist, the value would primarily be decorative.
