Dear Premala, 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 measurements of 50 x 32 inches. The painting depicts Jesus Christ wearing the thorn crown beside two apostles. It is dated 1955. Following the certificate, by Mr. Bhomavant this artwork was made by Francis Newton Souza-1924-2002. Comparable objects were recently offered and sold on the international auction market. This artwork appears weaker in style, anatomy, and composition in comparison to authenticated artworks by Francis Newton SOUZA (1924-2002). This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided. Fair market estimation for an authentified artwork would be between 30000 to 60000 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
