Mystery paintings

Profile picture for user Courtney Johnson
By Courtney Johnson, 10 December, 2024
Description

I found these pictures in a storage unit, there were so many expensive vintage collectibles, and then there were these. I can't get any info on the oil paintings at all, there's a signature but I can't read them. The Indian painting is a water color and it says that it's signed but I can't find where it's signed, the other to pictures one looks like it's done in ink and colored pencil and the 3rd paintings isn't a painted the middle is floating above the canvas. I was told that nobody had been in the unit since 1994 and the dated paperwork we found in the unit was 1987, so these have been in the unit for 25+ years.

It’s going to be tough to do…

It’s going to be tough to do an appraisal on so many paintings as the details and research are so unique. I would suggest to pick a couple, even just one or two, and enter those separately. That should give you the best results.
