Sir Peter Scott oil painting (1 Viewer)

Hi all-
My name is Frank Monkiewicz and I am a photographer in Boston, MA. When my father died a few years ago, he gave me a painting done by Peter Scott, the son of the explorer Robert Falcon Scott. It is a painting of a pheasant walking through the woods. It is signed by Peter Scott and dated 1935. He gave it as a wedding present to Maribel Vinson Owen in about 1940 who was a ice figure skater from the USA. My father bought their house back in 1964 after their whole family and the entire 1963 US Olympic team perished in an airplane crash in 1963 over Brussels.
I am thinking about selling the painting and was wondering what it is worth?
I know that Scott was a well known painter of wildlife in England and that he was a founder of a wildelife refuge in England.
If anyone is interested, let me know and I can send a photo of the painting to you. I have some written text with the painting and know the complete history of how it came from England to the USA in the 1940's.
Cheers-
Frank

Hi Frank,

A warm welcome to BirdForum from all the Moderators and Admin :t:

It would be nice if you could attach a photo. As to the value, I guess a specialist dealer would be the best place to get an estimate.

Hi Frank,

Is the Peter Scott painting still available as I am interested in it? If so, please could you send me a photograph. My email address is grahamhonour 'at' aol.com

Many thanks,

Graham

Quite a tragic story, Frank. And an original by Sir Peter S would of course fetch a lot of money, and that's as precise as I'm qualified to go!

Please be aware of the age of this thread.

Oh! Thanks Andy. Wonder how it panned out
