Hi Melinda, Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. I agree that this is very similar to the work of PC Chocarne Moreau and have valued it as manner of/attributed to him. If you find a signature under the frame (I'm not suggesting you do this, only a professional framer), let me know, it might upgrade the value slightly. Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is: Manner of / attributed to Paul Charles Chocarne-Moreau (French, 1855-1931) Untitled scene of altar boys at play oil on wood, panel 8 3/4 by 10 3/4 inches, in a giltwood frame 14 by 16 inches CONDITION: appears to be in good condition PROVENANCE: previously with Gumps, San Francisco, CA $2,500-3,500* *represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary. Please let us know if you have additional items to appraise, and thank you again for using Mearto.
