Douglas W. Reynolds piece?

Hi all, I have zero expertise in art but was curious about this piece I picked up in NC in 2011.
The front doesn’t seem to be signed but the back frame is written as Reynolds, Douglas W. Meredith College Art Dept.
Is there any value to this piece? How do I go about getting a valuation?
Many thanks!

 

maybe the folks at https://www.justanswer.com/sip/appr...MIrOqO08TqhAMVz0JHAR1reARLEAAYASAAEgLLGvD_BwE , could value it.

 

Found the man.

 

Given Meredith College is a women's school, likely Douglas W. Reynolds was on the faculty. Yep. Head of the Art Department. Here's his obituary. He doesn't appear to be a listed artist which means your work is worth what someone will pay for it. (I doubt that paying for an appraisal would benefit you.) Of course, to his surviving family, it may be priceless. Given Reynold's tenure at Meredith, your work dates to 1946-1957.

Its bizarre but I like that !

 

an evil jack in the box , torturing a woman.... the guy had issues...

 

Scathing! I am his granddaughter, and can confirm the original post was his work. We are secure in the pieces we preserved as a family, being his best works.

 

@Vfa, my sincere apologies if you found them so but... My comments weren't intended to be scathing. In fact, if you read the above again, you'll note that I made no comment at all about the quality of your grandfather's work. I only pointed out that, because your grandfather wasn't a listed artist (i.e. included in standard reference books), there was unlikely to be an established sales record for his work and that values would depend on a piece's appeal to potential individual buyers.
