Need to know how much Is my Bessie Pease Cutmann painting worth. My gramma wrote she bought it in 1927-awaking
the painting says, awakening. My grandparents in 1927 paid a dollar a month for it. It was framed in 1967. Is this original or a print? How much is it worth? Where can I get the most money for it
Are you sure it's the original painting or just a print copy of the original? Bessie Pease Gutmann was a fairly well-known Depression-era artist.
But when I do a search of this painting I get many people trying to sell their 'Awaking' prints. Like these:

If it's just another print it might not be worth a lot of money, no more than a few hundred dollars, depending on the condition of the print and the frame.
However, if it's actually the original, it could be worth a hundred thousand or more. Try going to the family's official web site for more information:
