<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GuyWho, post: 9783729, member: 86628&quot;]The painting below (Mahogany panel. Width, 10 inches; height, 14 inches) has been in the family for many years and we are ready to sell it. We are getting a fairly wide range of estimates from these photos and info ($2-4k to $8-10k).</p><p><br /></p><p>This link shows a fair number of his work sold (prices for about half when click on picture)</p><p><a href="https://www.invaluable.com/artist/beckwith-james-carroll-60obd7ipkm/sold-at-auction-prices/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.invaluable.com/artist/beckwith-james-carroll-60obd7ipkm/sold-at-auction-prices/" rel="nofollow">https://www.invaluable.com/artist/beckwith-james-carroll-60obd7ipkm/sold-at-auction-prices/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>We are thinking about using Doyle as their fee seems fairly modest at 15% plus something like 1.5% to insure it but they had the lowest estimate and suggest a reserve of $1,500.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m curious if any thoughts, suggestions, advice or whatever you all might want to share with an art auction novice trying to do the best for the family.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks in advance!</p><p><br /></p><p>(BTW, does mahogany panel make a painting like this more valuable than one on canvas?
