Dear Stephanie,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
The presented object appears to be a painting made in oil paint on board with 14 x 19 inches measurements. The painting depicts a battle between an European knigth and Muslim warriors. This is a painted side or front panel of an Sicilian donkey cart made in the 19th or early 20th century.
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 200 to 400 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
Can you please clarify this comment from above: "This is a painted side or front panel of an Sicilian donkey cart made in the 19th or early 20th century. " I don't see a donkey cart. Is this text for my appraisal or from another?
Thank you.
Dear Stephanie,

Thank you for clarifying that! Is there the option to list this item on your Marketplace now that it has been appraised? I selected not for sale when I opened the appraisal but I have changed my mind. Thanks again. Stephanie
