Wow! thank you for that info! Does it matter that the artist signed it?  I paid WAY more than $40 for this piece.

Well I got this at an estate sale and they did'nt provide anymore information.  Was he really famous or semi-famous?  To me it looks like it is a real sketch i dont see anything that looks like a reprint.

Hello to all!  So i found this at an estate sale this weekend and I see this sketch up on the wall and decide to purchase it but i dont know if i over paid for it or who this artist really is  .  From my online searches I get that he was a German artist and his works have recently sold for a lot of $$$$.
Can anyone provide me mor info on this sketch? Year this is from? and a realistic value of what i can sell this for?
Thank you.

The raised images seem to be enamel. The sides of the box and the frame of the lid are made of rocks or something similar in a mosaic type of art work.  I looked at it under a 10x loupe and it looks like fancy art work.

Hello I am new here.  I am hoping you can help me out.  I bought this box at a swapmeet and I dont know where it is from or what its for and what do you guys/gals think this might be worth?
I could not find any markings on it but I do see under the lid a piece of masking tape that reads "Christmas gift 1968 from Johnny" Please help.
