Appraisal Report
This is a framed print of a painting by Viktor Shvaiko, a Russian-born artist known for his atmospheric depictions of European cafes and street scenes. The subject is the 'Auberge de Savoie'. While Shvaiko's original paintings and limited edition serigraphs/giclees can command significant prices, this appears to be a mass-produced, open-edition decorative print (likely an offset lithograph). Its value is primarily as decorative wall art. The framing adds some modest value. The condition seems good based on the image. The appraisal considers its nature as a reproduction rather than a limited edition or original artwork.
Appraisal Value
$50 - $150
