Originals in this selection, Gesso, 2,000 to 5,000 euro.
Formats from 100 x 76 to 90 x 120 cm.
Craft down to the detail
Where gesso is built up as a high-quality ground, the painting above it sits all the more calmly. Anyone seeking paintings with gesso from 2,000 to 5,000 euro for sale finds works of great technical density.
Between 2,000 and 5,000 euro, originals commonly bring large formats and mature techniques. For the ground, that means many thin, sanded gesso layers instead of one thick one. The result is a surface that takes paint evenly and lasts for years.

Reliefs and incisions
In this price range, some works show the gesso itself: as an incised line, as relief or as a gilded edge. Such details are handwork and therefore never quite identical. Ask for detail shots if you want to judge the relief.
Documents and storage
Signature, certificate and notes on storage belong with larger works. Keep the picture upright and padded until it hangs. Gesso tolerates no knocks, and a corner that chips once can only be touched up invisibly with effort.
