Dear Gabriela,
Thank you for your request. The apprised object is a painting made in oil on canvas with the measurements of 26.75 x 22.75 inches. The painting depicts a sunset or sundown at a seascape and is not signed. This painting was made in the second half of the 19th century. It could be made in the United States. This painting was made by an academical educated artist but he uses known motifs and is not a leading and known artist. Such motifs are inspired by the landscape paintings of the romanticism.
This piece is in good condition and there are no serious damages visible.
An estimation would be between 1000 to 1500 USD.
This estimation is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and vary.
With best regards,
Georg
