What would an approx. value be for this?

It is signed TERRY GOODKIND 12 78, Terry Goodkind is a New York Times best selling author and I have written to him and received a signed letter back accepting that it is in fact his own work. I am sorry for the poor photo quality, but could anyone hazard a guess as to what value I should assign this piece? It is 21 1/2 '' X 17 1/2 " by the frame dimensions.

Not a bad work. Is it an original drawing or a print?

I am no appraiser or art dealer, but assuming it's original I don't see why it wouldn't be worth a few hundred bucks at least, and add in a few hundred bucks for the name. So my guess would be about $500, with considerable room for error. I did a quick search and came up empty, but maybe you can troll around and find one or two examples of what his works have sold for in the past.

It is original, unfortunately there isn't any sales to complare with, as far as I know all of his work has stayed in the family, in fact, this painting I have was sold by his brother, which is also stated in the letter I obtained from Mr. Goodkind. He just had another book go Number 1 best seller of the New York Times the week of Sep. 4th.

So Mr. Goodkind and I settled on $600.00 for this Painting and a Signed copy of his newest book release.
