The painting is set in a heavy wood framework. I was told this was done for the purpose to have on ships . Where it would be able to stretch and shrink due to the elements of being on board. This piece weighs 70 lbs. The painting is in good condition. I am located in Tempe, Arizona.

Dear John, Thank you for your help and patience. My sincere apologies for the delay with the appraisal. The presented object appears to be a painting made in oil paint on canvas with inches measurements. The painting depicts a park scene with women in dresses. Because of the style, this painting can be attributed to the French artist Adolphe MONTICELLI (1824-1886). Also, this park motif was often used by this artist and titled "Dance" or "Nymphs with Diana". 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 1.500 to 3.000 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, Gregory
