Hidden Cottage II
Art Notes
I take a great deal of pleasure in finding out-of-the-way places, small wonders that sometimes seem to go unnoticed like the cottage behind the gate in Hidden Cottage II.

Hello Joyce,
A quick way to check the value of your painting is to start right here on this website and search (using the search feature) for the title, size, and edition of your painting. If your painting is not on line, you can find a similar image in the same size and edition and that would be the value of your painting. Our prices are not image specific, they are based on size edition and frame.
If you need a formal appraisal for your insurance company, there are many factors that are part of an art appraisal especially when a painting is sold out, including edition, size, frame choice, condition, image availability, and the local art market. The best source for assistance in obtaining a third-party appraisal is a local appraisal firm in your area. Local appraising firms understand the secondary art market in your region and have the ability to give you the best estimate of value for your Thomas Kinkade Limited Edition Artwork.

We own a Hidden Cottage II that we purchased directly from Thomas (Artist’s Proof) when he was in our town as a guest hosted by a local gallery. I was the Mayor at the time and had my pic taken with him as I presented him with a Proclamation welcoming him to our city. Does our photo with him provide any additional value? I’ve tried to find the value but have been unsuccessful thus far.
Hello Dennis,
We do not offer appraisal services here. A quick way to check the value of your painting is to start right here our website http://www.thomaskinkade.com and by using the search box, search for the title, size, and edition of your painting. If you do not find your exact piece, it might be sold out. You can then select another image (the prices are determined by size, edition and frame not the image) to get a general idea of value for your piece.

An art appraiser will also be the best person to answer your question as to if the photo you have of yourself and Thom increases the value of the piece.

I inherited a 1993 Thomas Kinkade hidden Cottage 2 number 13 out of 95 and I was just wondering if you could tell me how much it might be worth thank you
Hello Richard,
A quick way to check the value of your piece is to start here on our website. In the search box, type in your image name. You will also need to know the size, media and edition of your piece. If you find your exact image, click into it like you want to purchase your piece again by selecting your same options. This will show you a rough idea of value. If your piece is no longer available, you can select another image that has the same options, so size and edition. The prices are based off of edition and size, not the image. If you need the value for insurance purposes, we suggest reaching out to a licensed art appraiser. I suggest doing on online search for art appraisers in your area. If you have an art gallery near you, they might be able to recommend an art appraiser in the area.
