Landscape Painting with Barn Appraisal
Category: Painting
Description
This is a framed landscape painting. The painting depicts an agrarian scene with a large red barn on the left, featuring a Gambrel roof and windows. A windmill is situated behind the barn, and to the right, a smaller building with a glass facade is visible. The foreground features a body of water reflecting the sky and surrounding landscape. The banks of the water are covered in green and gold grasses with numerous small white flowers scattered throughout. Several bare trees or fence posts stand in a line behind the smaller building. The sky is a muted gray with some birds in flight. The painting is executed in oil on canvas or board, with visible brushstrokes characteristic of impasto in the depiction of the white flowers and some of the foliage. The colors are predominantly earthy tones of red, brown, and green, contrasted with the bright white of the flowers and the blues of the sky and water. The signature "ROGERS" is visible in the upper right quadrant of the painting. The painting appears to be in good overall condition with no obvious signs of damage like tears or paint loss, although the precise condition is difficult to ascertain from the image alone. The frame appears to be a plain wooden frame. Based on the style and subject matter, it is likely a 20th-century piece.
Appraisal Report
Upon examination of the provided image and details (37710A 48. 24x48 Roger’s), I have assessed this framed landscape painting. The piece is an oil painting, likely on canvas or board, measuring 24 by 48 inches. It depicts a rustic agrarian scene dominated by a large red barn with a Gambrel roof, a windmill, and a body of water in the foreground. The artist’s style is characterized by visible, expressive brushwork, particularly the impasto technique used for the white flowers, which adds texture and depth. The signature 'ROGERS' is present in the upper right. The overall condition appears to be good from the digital image, with no visible tears, cracks, or significant paint loss. The wooden frame is simple and functional. The style and subject matter are typical of 20th-century American landscape art. The value of this piece is significantly influenced by the identity of the artist, 'Rogers.' While there are several listed artists with this surname, without further information, it is difficult to attribute this work to a well-known figure. If this is by a listed artist like Howard Rogers, the value could be substantially higher. However, based on the style, it is more likely the work of a talented regional or amateur artist. The market for decorative, pleasant landscapes of this nature is consistent, though not exceptionally high-value unless tied to a recognized name. Comparables for unsigned or unattributed but well-executed 20th-century landscape paintings of this size typically sell in the low to mid-hundreds at local auctions and online marketplaces. The primary limitation of this appraisal is the inability to authenticate the work from images alone. A full, definitive appraisal would require in-person examination to assess the true condition of the canvas, paint layers, and signature under magnification. Research into the provenance (history of ownership) and any exhibition history would be critical to identifying the artist 'Rogers' and establishing a more accurate market value. Without such verification, the painting is appraised as a decorative work.
