Q: Over 25 years ago, my father bought an antique oil painting for me, which I truly adored, but didn’t think much about it as it hung on my wall. Last year, I looked at it more closely and realized it is painted on wood and probably still in its original gilded frame and wiring. If I remember, it was titled “The Courtship.” I do not believe there is any signature. I would love to have it appraised. It could definitely use professional cleaning. But first, I wish to see if it is of value. Can you help suggest somewhere I could take it for an accurate appraisal? Thank you for your help. — Anne S. Novak, Canton
