I have entered an original drawing by Francois Schuiten. #8975331. I did search the net, but I came across amounts ranging from 3 to 220 thousand (!) euros. Does anyone know a good and reliable address to have this drawing appraised? Thank you in advance for an answer.

Jopo, with your experience I hardly dare to ask, but still. If the drawing in the frame is already signed and then also extra under the frame, is this a limited ink print? Although there is no numbering mentioned?

Well, the eyes don't have to be that sharp, because Jopo has introduced the work very nicely with explanation and all. And Morits, I really don't know much about lithographs, originals, etc.

The photos convince me that it is indeed an original, not a reproduction.
I don't recognize the image and I can't find anything similar on the internet. But Schuiten has a huge production of course, so that doesn't say much.

Every appraisal is a blow in the air, the value is only determined when it is auctioned (but I don't know if that is the intention ).
For a realistic estimate, I would in any case not consult the "experts" of Catawiki, but one of the large auction houses where Schuiten's work was previously offered.

but I come across amounts from 3 to 220 thousand (!) euros.
For an amount of 3 euros I wouldn't hesitate for a moment ;-)
The higher amounts are probably for plates from the comics that everyone knows. The question is whether these are realistic for collectors, or rather a result of the hype that investors have caused in recent years.

 jopo how long have you owned this work? That may limit the time frame in which to search. A demonstrably published work is often more attractive than something unknown.

jopo What should that scribble at the back be? EA? So what about an emphasis?
An auction in 2013 you were between 25000-35000 for an original. (Just info from the net, I don't know anything about it...)

If it is indeed original then this is a masterpiece jopo!
I think this could be auctioned just fine on Catawiki, there is an international audience and expensive originals are auctioned every week.
I think the best place is the exclusive comics auction that is held periodically.
I could possibly put you in touch with those auctioneers.

Thanks in advance everyone for the help. Harry56 : I took it off the list and felt it. The ink is on the paper. So no printing. Jummeke : The notes on the back were probably made by whoever framed the drawing. strip pins : The drawing was in the possession of a now deceased friend. Probably somewhere between 25 and 30 years old. Some time ago I found a picture of it on the net. Now I can't find any more of it... Rene : you can put me in touch with one of the auctioneers. Then I can always make a decision to auction.

EA on a drawing means: épreuve d'artiste, this usually means that it is an extra edition in the printing process. So it looks very much like it's not an original....

And two different signatures on a print??? is very unlikely to be an original print

After three hours of searching found the only image on the net again : 

https://ultrawolvesunderthefullmoon.blog/2015/06/26/illustrations-by-francois-schuiten-baron-francois/
But that doesn't make me any wiser.

For everyone. According to the auctioneer, he turns out not to be real. Rather a glicee or a serigraph. It was agreed that the auctioneer will take a look at it in real life. Thanks everyone for the comments and recommendations!

It seems as if I have been talking to the sky...

EA is never not put on an original in its lifetime. Period.

Sorry Morits, but when I asked my first question, I had never heard of EA. If that had been the case, I would not have asked my question and I should have known that it couldn't be original Schuiten.

Morits  I think it says E 13. And isn't EA always on the front cover?

jopo The correct term is giclee. It can indeed look deceptively real. I would also like to see it in real life, but I haven't been to Best in about 30 years ;-)

It's about time you come and have a cup of tea. And I knew nothing about EA. Not sure if it's on the front or back. Thank you. Learned something again!
