Price of Edouard Cortes painting

greenspun.com : LUSENET : The Exchange: A Forum for Antiques and The Arts : One Thread

I am considering a purchase of a painting by Cortes. The painting(oil on canvas) is a Paris street scene with, I believe, the Opera House in the background. The painting is approximately 18 x 22 inches and appears to be in excellent condition. How do I know what a fair price is for this painting? Help? Thanks! Ju

The paintings by Cortez are said to be the most highly forged art work in the world. Your best bet is to get this particular painting verified if you can. If it is one of his then it would be valued at between $15,000 and $18,000 U.S. dollars. Hope this helps you out and good luck.
