Does anyone here know approximately how much an original Grandma Moses

[Donailin]

painting would go for?

A friend of mine, a senior bachelor, has a signed orginal Grandma Moses painting--passed on to him from his mother who died ten years ago. It is framed and in good condition (needs professional cleaning as it is a bit gray). It is most definitely an orginal. he thinks it's worth maybe a few thousand, but only two weeks ago I saw one valued at over $40,000 on the antiques road show. His mother was a collector and owned a very famous estate in Brookville MD, the authenticity is not in question, just the value.

The name of it is called "Early Americana" and it depicts harvest time at a farm with pumpkins and men bailing hay on a country farm, autumn. I can't seem to come up with anything on google except bio's of Moses. Any input is greatly appreciated!

1. It's probably best to contact Sotheby's directly

Their estimates tend to be on the conservative side, but it's a good place to start.
