I have an engraving by A Van Ostade from the Vincent Price Collection which was purchased in the late 1950's from a show at Sears. It is approximately 4-1/2 x 6 inches in size. Where can I find the value of this piece of art from the 17th Century?

What was the Vincent Price Collection? It was an experiment started by Sears, Roebuck and Co. to sell fine art to the general public. They hired Vincent Price to assemble the collection because he had a recognizable name and a reputation as an art collector. The actor purchased more than 2,700 works and the first 100 went on sale in October of 1962. To the store's surprise, it worked. People clamored to buy pieces by artists such as Albrecht Durer or Reginald Pollack. Discontinued in 1971, the Vincent Price Collection has been forgotten as an odd art historical footnote. Today the idea of thumbing Sears catalog and seeing a Picasso on page 226 is a disturbing notion.
