Impressionist Style Cityscape Painting Appraisal
Category: Fine Art
Description
Framed painting depicting a colorful, impressionistic cityscape or park scene at night. The scene features a wet pathway lined with trees and illuminated by streetlights, with figures walking along it. The artwork is characterized by thick paint application (impasto), vibrant colors ranging from blues and greens to reds and oranges, and prominent reflections on the ground. It is presented in a wide, ornate frame with gold/bronze tones and an inner white/cream liner.
Appraisal Report
This appears to be a painting executed in a distinctive impasto style, likely using a palette knife, depicting a vibrant, rain-slicked city street or park scene at night. The use of bold, contrasting colors, particularly the warm oranges and reds against cooler blues, and the reflections on the wet pavement are characteristic of a popular contemporary impressionistic style often associated with artists like Leonid Afremov, though the artist here is not specified. The valuation considers its decorative appeal, size (appears to be a relatively large panoramic format), and the elaborate frame. However, without knowing the specific artist, whether it is an original oil/acrylic painting or a print/reproduction, its provenance, and condition details, the value is estimated based on market comparables for decorative art in this popular style by unknown or lesser-known artists, or high-quality reproductions. Original works by established artists in this genre command significantly higher prices.
