It is approx. 5ft x 3ft. Black velvet, waterfall but no life (birds,fishes,animals), it is beautiful and in execllent condition. I am looking for someone to come to my home and appraise it. Can you suggest someone? This is southern California

    Without that signature, it's going to be tough.
    Call some art dealers and antique shops in your area.
    An art expert appraisal will cost quite a bit, so just say you are thinking of selling it.
