Paul Klee lived from 1897 to 1940, He was a modern artist often compared to Kandinsky. Very color full. Be care full who you get to appraise the painting, they might give you a lower price just to obtain the picture. Your best bet is to go to the nearest museum and ask the curator to look at the painting.
Good Luck

Art net (website) has listings of previous auction prices. (You may need to become a member to access this information). You need to pay people for an appraisal, and with this artist you may find it unnecessary. Klee's work will have plenty of history and information for you to find your own information without paying anyone. You will want to first find information about your piece---the size, medium, condition, date, subject, and provenance. From there, you can do comparisons with other sold work to calculate the 'appraisal'. Artworks are appraised first with date comparisons---certain time periods in an artist's work history are more desired then others---from there, compare subject, medium and size (again, certain things are more desired), etc. On art net they will have pictures of the works sold and what they sold for, therefore you can look for pieces that look similar to yours. Good luck!

Christies or Sotheby's or a local art action house.
They have to see the painting, access the state and level of interest to put a price on it.
