Dear Frederick Lyle, Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. My sincere apologies for the delay with the appraisal The presented object appears to be a painting made in oil or acrylic paint on canvas with the measurements of 30 x 40 inches. The painting depicts a street scene with cafes and people on the street near Time Square New York. This artwork was made by the artist Lois Beacham. Works by this artist were recently not offered and sold on the international auction market. That means this artist is not established on the secondary market which has to be used for private sellers. This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided. A fair market estimation would be between 3.000 to 6.000 USD. This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary. With kind regards, George
