Curator Questions
Curated by Jade
Assessment:
This is an appealing contemporary miniature landscape/animal painting. While Susan Westwood is a noted regional artist rather than one with national or international renown, the painting's charm, subject matter, and quality are likely to attract collectors interested in Western or pastoral art. The frame enhances its decorative appeal, though this is a relatively recent work by a living artist and should be valued mainly for its decorative and collectible qualities rather than as a blue-chip investment.
