Finding Out the Value of a Print

I'm trying to get an approximate value on this antique print of "Daybreak" by Robert Parish. It looks like an original frame. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

We used to be in the antique business. We had 2 that were done by the same guy, similar to your's. About 15 years ago , they were worth about 300 dollars a piece.
That should give you a round about figure. By now, I'm postive it's worth more. If you want to get rid of it, put it in a good auction.

Did some searching and found the same painting but the artist's name listed is MAXFIELD PARRISH.
Check out this site http://www.parrish-house.com/

There are some on ebay you can compare it to.

The item numbers are:
Item number: 110367731935 for $895.00
Item number: 130268069278 for $585.00

Hope this helps

What a beautiful frame, and that particular painting is a favorite of mine!

Have you tried contacting auction houses that specialize in art prints and antiques? I would think they could either appraise the piece or point you in the direction of a qualified appraiser.

Good luck, it's very pretty!
