[QUOTE="silverthwait, post: 46314, member: 103"]Welcome, new member. :) The standard answer here for your question is that your item is worth what someone will pay for it. Art is not like a dinner table that one can say, "Oak tables like that typically sell for $$ here in the midwest." And in the case of that particular picture, while there certainly could be a number of possible interests to which it would appeal, (Shakespeare, Abbey devotees, people who collect illustrators, people who collect artists from the Philadelphia school Abbey attended, etc), it's size and subject matter rather limit the kind of wall space it could occupy in this day and age. Actually, were I teaching Shakespeare, and had a classroom of my own, I'd very much like to have Cordelia in all her glory. I just can't picture her in the dining room. Or the living room. And certainly not a typical "family" room.[/QUOTE]
