I recently bought a very large Eric Sloane painting at an auction and was wondering if there was any value to it. I am very new to this, so really don't have a clue lol. It is framed and has a gold tag with his name and the name of the painting, "Old Covered Bridge". It also has 2 small children with fishing poles and a dog walking in the field near the bridge. The back has a sticker with "Windsor Art Products Division of Illinois Moulding Company" on it. Also, P666 J-V2031-158. Any idea if it is worth anything? I'm sure it's probably not an original. Also, any advice on any useful websites where I might be able to find good info for future buys? Thanks! Michelle

Most likely you have a giclee print of his !! His art sells quite high as you can see here http://www.artbrokerage.com/artist/Eric-Sloane !! He did excellent landscapes of the southwest and new england and was a prolific illustrator as well according to the site I gave you !! As far as value,, do you mind saying what you gave for the print ??

I would doubt if Windsor Art Products ever offered anything but licensed reproductions of original art. Regardless, Eric Sloane did such nice work, that even a print of his work is worth admiring. I have always enjoyed his illustrated books on the subjects of early tools, barns, bridges, etc.
