Description and history

This is an nude woman drawing attributed to the German Artist Otto DIX (listed artist) Dix, Otto, (1891 – 1969). It is signed DIX 1912, which is compatible with this authors signatures and time period. The style also matches Otto DIX, see for instance:

About the type of art, it looks an original drawing, which is supported by the fact there are no matches for this drawing in the Artificial Inteligence search engine:

I assumed in the value that it is an original artwork by him. If you are unsure if it is original, it could be worth bringing it to an appraiser in person to check it is original.

Appraisal Value ($)

– 1,200-1,600$

How to sell it

Art pieces are difficult to sell, you will need some time to find a buyer, so be patient!

To sell the items, I would recommend doing so through the internet. You have plenty of options, for instance:

– Ebay, Craiglist, Etsy, Facebook ads, Amazon marktplace

I would probably go ahead and take a couple of good pictures, like described here:

Then I would use the provided description as a text to the ad, and an attractive ad title will make it.

There isn’t any special difference between selling it on Etsy, FB or Amazon. I would recommend to upload the same ad to at least two or three platforms. It will ensure a high visibility of the ad.

The asking price can be close to the value, it depends upon how fast you want to sell. In general, an agressive strategy of 20% price cut will work great, however it depends upon your specific location.

About the valuation method

To value this item I have considered the results from past auction sales. Keep in mind that the final price can be different from asking prices that you can find on the internet. You can see ads on the internet with different asking prices. However, a very high asking price doesn’t normally find cash from a buyer. 

That’s why our method comprises searching and comparing similar past sale results that had a buyer. That’s why we can provide an accurate estimation of this item.

For art pieces, remember that it isn’t the same a print, a limited edition print or an original art piece. If the artist can’t be identified, the value assigned corresponds to the quality and potential interest of the market for the painting.
