[QUOTE="Mansons2005, post: 268690, member: 121"]I have this miniature painting by Willard M. Mitchell. It measures approx. 3" by 4", has a hand carved wood frame and is glazed. I can find the information on the artist and his work, but I am interested on other members opinions regarding the damage in the reverse. It appears to have been repaired with clear tape and that has "messed up" some of the illumination. That and a small water spot on the back are the only signs of damage. The painting itself has been well protected due to the glass, and I do not think the colours have really faded beyond "normal" watercolour fading (as in no sun damage, etc.). Since pricing and sales for these works are all over the scale, I wish to know what you think the damage does to an asking price (I sell fixed price with Best Offer, and there is no urgency to sell). I no longer trust solely my own judgement regarding these things, so any advice regarding pricing against recorded prices and then considering the damage would be most welcome. Thanks!!
