I bought an oil on canvas painting at a yard sale by the artist Hoffman how much is it worth?

The painting in question is a painting of from the American Revolution with a flutist, drummer, and a man with an American flag bringing the minute men into battle. Being from the Boston area maybe it is of the battle of Bunker hill?I bought an oil on canvas painting at a yard sale by the artist Hoffman how much is it worth?
Is this the painting your speaking of?

Not to bring you down here but...I sincerely doubt that the original painting is still floating around, outside of a museum.


I'd guess it's a print on canvas (Giclee) These types of prints can look very much like an original oil painting but are not!


Artists can also sometimes paint directly on top of the print in order for it to look even more like an original.


A painting like that would be worth 10's of thousands of dollars! I can't see mrs. Jones, or whoever putting it in her driveway for a yard sale :)

Call your local auction house or Sotheby's, 212.606.7000 and ask for Arcade Paintings. They should be able to help you if it has any value.
hmm...you should to go to an art museum, they would tell you its price value.
look on eBay under COMPLETED AUCTIONS. That should give you a rough idea how much you can sell if for. You can also take it in to an eBay Store and have someone appraise it for you.
