VerifiedHi and thanks for choosing Just Answer.
It's a bit hard to see from the image--- is that pencil drawing or a print of a drawing?
Is that the signature at the bottom left? Is the drawing mounted onto another sheet?
Thanks,
Diana

Hi.
Wow. That's fantastic. Trigham was a fantastic Victorian artist and illustrator. He managed to exhibit at the Royal Academy. He even did commissions for King Edward VII and Queen Alexandria. His work, while, pretty largely collected doesn't show up on the open the market as much as some other pieces. In the past few years some of his work has shown up through Wallams, Halls, and Drewatts.
It's a great sketch. The detail in the trees and landscape is amazing. He even mangaged to create slight details of the house in the background.
Based on my record of his work in auctions and private sales, an original drawing of that quality should have a secondary value in the range of $500 to $700 (AUD).
Odds are that you won't be able to get that price on Ebay. As far as art goes, Ebay runs much lower than actual value. Ebay tends to run about 50% of actual value where most of these old prints are concerned.
You'll do much better on your own than through a gallery where they take about 30 to 40% commission.
