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
