Presented for your bids is oil on canvas, signed lower right corner
- John S. Sargent. Size 21" x 28 1/4" (53.5 x
72 cm). Partial label on back (see photo). I did not realize how big name
Sargent is, and for those of you who
deal with high end fine art you know how hard it is to get someone to authenticate
big name art. I have hired an expert
(Ph.D. Fine Art Services) to do Analysis to determine the age of the painting.
Two page report consists of: 1. Visual Examination
(medium, support, stretcher, selvage, fasteners, paint layer & ultra
violent examination. 2. Chemical Analysis and 3. Conclusion. In the
conclusion it reads: "It is my opinion, that this painting was painted
before 1925, a year of John Singer Sargent's death." I have enclosed some
images of the letter bellow. To a serious
bidder I can fax a copy of the letter and to a winning bidder I will send
the original letter that incl. experts
name, address, phone #, etc. Since I only have this to go with the painting,
I am selling it as being attributed to
John Singer Sargent. I don't have time to pursue this further as I need
to raise money for wedding. My reserve is
very low, but I hope it will sell for the right amount that it deserves.
I chose to do private auction to protect the
identity of the bidders. Please do your own research before placing final
bid. Be patient, as I have a lot of images
for you. Please don't hesitate to email me with any questions, and I will
try to answer to the best of my ability. I
hope this document will help! Serious bidders only, please. Thank you for
looking and I welcome your bids. Lucky buyer
to pay priority S/H/I. Money order or certified check only. Payment must
be received within 10 days from auction end.
THANK YOU AND GOOD LUCK!
