Set of Two Original Oil Paintings by Aurorai Appraisal
Category: Paintings
Description
A set of two original oil paintings by the artist Aurorai. Each painting depicts a landscape scene. One features a grove of trees and a field of blue flowers, possibly bluebonnets, under a cloudy sky. The other shows a single large tree with a fence line in the foreground and a hilly landscape in the background, also under a cloudy sky. Both paintings are housed in matching ornate gold-colored wooden frames. The frames feature a detailed relief pattern with a slightly aged finish. The paintings appear to be in great overall condition with no visible signs of significant damage, tears, or repairs. The oil medium shows texture in the application of paint, indicative of original works. While the exact dimensions are not provided by the image alone, the context suggests they are approximately 10x9 inches individually. The context also indicates the paintings are approximately 40 years old, suggesting a creation date around the early 1980s. The style appears to be representational landscape art. Visible brushstrokes and color blending demonstrate craftsmanship.
Appraisal Report
I have examined the provided images of this set of two original oil paintings by the artist Aurorai. Based on the visual evidence and the additional details, the paintings appear to be in great overall condition, with neither tears, repairs, nor significant paint loss evident. The textured application of the oil medium and visible brushwork are consistent with original artwork. The matching ornate gold-colored wooden frames, described as approximately 40 years old and showing a slightly aged finish, complement the artwork and appear to be in good condition themselves. While the description suggests the paintings are approximately 10x9 inches and 40 years old, I must emphasize that I cannot definitively confirm these details, nor the authenticity of the artist's signature, without a direct, in-person examination. Authenticity would ideally be further verified with provenance documentation (such as a certificate of authenticity or sales records) and potentially scientific analysis of the paint or canvas. Without knowing more about the artist Aurorai's market presence, sales history, or recognition, a specific price is difficult to pinpoint. However, based on these being a charming pair of original framed landscapes in good condition and of modest size, they would likely appeal to buyers looking for decorative art for home or office. Demand for original landscapes remains fairly consistent in the general art market. Considering these factors, along with the limitations of image-based appraisal, I estimate their retail value to be in the stated range.
