I don't really know, but I presume it's an oil painting. The frame is old, and in good but not great condition. The painting is likewise. The signature says Rosso Rossi, who I looked up here: http://www.artist-biography.info/artist/rosso_rossi/ I think the brass plate says Venetian Serenade, Roma, R Rossi

Dear Marianne, 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 paint on canvas with 24 x 20 inches measurements. The painting depicts a couple in Renaissance dresses on a boat while the men play a lute. The painting itself appears not to be signed and just attributed with a brass plate on the frame to an artist with the name Rosso Rossi. It was made in 1880 or 1890 probably in Italy. Sadly no additional information for an artist with the name Rosso Rossi from this period fitting in style and motif is given by reference books and databases. 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 300 to 600 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
