From whom, period, origin, value,...

Thank you in advance for the help!

It is better to go to an auction house, they have more expertise

It is difficult to say something about the value of a painting on the basis of a photo and without knowing the dimensions. In this case I dare to, because they are nm.m. no valuable works of art.



The top painting bears the signature of Max Savy (1918-2010). He seems to have painted this scene several times (see: https://www.invaluable.com/artist/savy-max-bs5v4wm3k4/sold-at-auction-prices/ ). The painting that was auctioned at Charleston Auctions in December 2020 fetched 65 euros and that seems to me to be a good indication of the value of such a painting, around 50 euros.



The second painting is signed by an artist Fortuné. There are a number of painters called Fortuné and I cannot determine which Fortuné was at work here. What I can see is that nmm isn't a very exciting painting. Presumably such a work will fetch a few tens.



The maker of the third painting is completely unknown. The boat is not badly done, but here too the painting does not make me greedy. It must represent a scene in a southern country or somewhere in Asia. I would be surprised if the work is worth more than a few tenners. If you find out who made it, maybe it could be something more.



Maybe the tile tableau is worth something. I do not know anything about that.

Additionally:
It is probably best to offer the Savy at Catawiki. There, such work often yields more than € 100 Euro. Yesterday I forgot to check the proceeds on Catawiki.
Still:
https://www.catawiki.com/nl/l/1967479-max-savy-1918-2010 = 90 Euro

https://www.catawiki.com/nl/l/26652195-max-savy-blackboard-oil-paint-on-canvas = 111 Euro

https://www.catawiki.com/nl/l/43151157-max-savy-1918-2010-boote-in-landlichem-hafen = 200 Euro

https://www.catawiki.com/nl/l/2027005-max-savy-1918-2010 = 311 Euro (large: 119 x 59 cm)

https://www.catawiki.com/nl/l/65199593-max-savy-1918-2010-port-bateaux = 47 Euro

NB!
- The size is very important. the most expensive one is quite large.
- A painting on board usually yields slightly less than a painting on canvas.
- The older the auction, the less it says about the current value of such a painting.
The top auction (90 Euro) is already almost 8 years ago.
