Dear Don, Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. The presented object appears to be a painting made in oil or acrylic paint on canvas with 32 x 26 inches measurements. The painting depicts a woman in a Spanish costume holding a guitar. This is a copy after a painting by the artist FRANCISCO RIBERA (1907-1990). This painting was made in the middle or second half of the 20th century. Comparable objects were recently offered and sold on the international auction market. This piece is in good condition and no severe damage is visible in the images provided. A fair market estimation would be between 250 to 500 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, Gregory
