The painting could be worth much more than $1,500 depending on the illustrator who painted the portrait. During the golden era of Hollywood, long before computer generated illustrations came to be, the movie studios had their staff of illustrators design and produce the movie posters. The illustrators of that genre were well schooled, and skilled in the art of realisim. They all knew the techniques of the old masters. This portrait of Frances Langford appears to be a study, not a finshed piece. Its illustrative style strongly suggests it was painted by one of the studio's in-house illustrators.
