My grandfather always put, uh, some information about whatever he had.
So on the back here, it says "Mr.
Couse, who painted this picture, told me that it was the portrait of a 'Klinket' Indian of the Columbia River’ region by the name of Solaly.
And "It was painted around 1900."
APPRAISER: The painting is an oil on canvas by Eanger Irving Couse.
He was a painter born in Michigan.
Um, he was born in 1866 and died in 1936.
He was classically trained.
He studied in Chicago, New York, and in France.
And about 1897 to about 1901, he moved to Oregon to be with his wife's family for a little bit.
And that's where he painted the Northwest coast tribes, specifically the Klickitat, which is when this would have been painted.
So your grandfather was right, circa 1900.
Couse is really famous for his scenes in Taos, New Mexico.
He was one of the founding artists and first president of the Taos Artists' Society.
Do you have any idea what this could be worth?
GUEST: I, I... I don't.
No idea.
APPRAISER: Do you want to take a guess?
GUEST: $5,000?
APPRAISER: If this were to come to auction, I would expect it to bring in the $10,000 to $15,000 range.
GUEST: (laughing) (chuckling): That's un, that's unbelievable.
Thank you.
APPRAISER: I would insure it in the $20,000 to $25,000 range.
GUEST: Thank you.
