Surrealist painting

Hello Ivan,

Thank you very much for submitting your item for an online appraisal and for your patience.

The presented object appears to be an oil on linen depiction of a still-life with fruit (bananas, cherries and physalis) in a Surrealist style. It measures 19 3/8 x 27 1/8 inches and looks to be in good condition. The work is signed in the bottom left corner. Unfortunately, the signature is somewhat illegible and not immediately recognizable.

I searched for several variations on the letters that I can make out, possibly "G. Jeff Piccioli" (?) but couldn't find any information or auction records for an artist with this name. I would therefore suggest an attribution of "20th Century Surrealist Painting," which would have an estimated fair market value of $300 to 500 based on the overall quality of the composition and recently achieved auction results for similar paintings. Retail and asking prices can vary.

If you have any questions, please let me know in the comments section below. Thank you again and have a wonderful day!

Kind regards,
Anne
