Dear David,

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 board with the measurements of 25 x 19 inches. The painting depicts the portrait of a woman in a blue undertone. It is signed with the name Betty Smith and dated 1968. This artwork is not comparable in style and signature to other works by Betty Smith Winn or Betty Anglin Smith who are known artists. Sadly no further information regarding the biography of this artist is mentioned in reference books or similar databases.
Works by this artist were recently not offered and sold on the international auction market.
This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 100 to 250 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,
Georg
