Spring, Carmel, California by Alexandre Archipenko (attributed)

Framed oil painting on board or canvas, artist signed and dated 'Alexandre Archipenko, 1925', titled 'Spring, Carmel, California'. Depicts a landscape scene with trees and foliage. Housed in a decorative gilded frame.

The painting appears to be a framed oil painting depicting a natural landscape scene, likely painted en plein air. The style is suggestive of early 20th-century Russian or European landscape painting. The label visible in the lower right corner provides significant context: 'Alexandre Archipenko, 1925, Spring, Carmel, Calif'. However, Alexandre Archipenko was a prominent sculptor and artist best known for his contributions to Cubism, and while he did paint, he is not widely known for traditional landscapes in this style. The style and signature would need further verification from an art expert or reputable art database specializing in Archipenko's painted works. Assuming this is indeed an authentic work by Alexandre Archipenko, even one outside his typical sculptural focus, his name carries significant weight in the art market. However, if it is an attribution or a work by a lesser-known artist, the value would be significantly lower. Because of the discrepancy and the unique nature of a landscape painting attributed to a primarily sculptural artist like Archipenko, a wide range is appropriate without further authentication. The ornate gilded frame adds some value but is secondary to the artwork itself.
