I have a water colour of Holy Island painted by Thomas Bush
Hardy, size around 18ins x 12ins dated 1871, any idea as to
its value?

wee eck,
There is a Bush Hardy website art for sale which shows / describes the paintings, but, you have to subscribe to get the sale prices. I hope it's worth a bob or two.  |

holywell, I have not got the energy to chase around with it, if you like art
how about making me an offer, I know you live near where I stay so it should be a hardship for you to view it, cheers. |

I'll do a bit of 'hunting' around to see if I can come up with an evaluation. If I can, I will make you an offer at 50% of the evaluation.

holywell, will that be 50% of the insurance value?

 It's a pity your old adversary Alain Charnier (Macau) wasn't still posting. I'm sure with his connections he would have got you 'best price'.  |

holywell, I will look forward to hearing what you find out about this
water colour, I cannot for the life of me remember what I purchased it for, I bought it about 20 years ago from a local dealer who is now deceased. |

There is a free Art Price website.
Google Art Price, FindArtInfo.com - search free. There are a number of pages to scroll through. There is a painting of Holy Island Sands 6.7inches x 16.9inches on page one sold for 426 US dollars. |

miprixabloater - I would definitely get your local auction house to check it out. The prices of his watercolours are very variable, even if definitely attributed to him, with of course condition, size and subject/location all influencing demand and price. It could easily be worth mid three figures, but his work can sell for as little as £100 and as much as £2000+. He is quite prolific, even my little'ish local Auction House has sold 9 watercolours by him in the last several years (and these are properly by him, not "circle of" or "after")
Good luck with it. Will all respect to our fellow posters on here, this forum would be about the last place I would seek to sell a late 19th century watercolour |

^ I agree entirely. If you were selling a piece from the Renaissance or Neoclassical periods this WOULD be the place to sell it, but not a 19th century watercolour.
