Dear Mark, Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. The presented object appears to be a painting made in oil paint on canvas with 61 x 50 inches measurements. The painting is a copy of a painting by the German artist Hubert Salentin (1822-1910) with the title "TheYoung Sheep Tenders". This is a detailed copy made by a Chinese copyist in the last third of the 20th century. The signature Purcell is a nom-de-plume. Comparable objects were recently offered and sold on the international auction market. This piece is in medium condition and no severe damage is visible in the images provided. A fair market estimation would be between 100 to 300 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
