Dear Qianwen,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
The presented object appears to be a painting made in oil or acrylic paint on canvas with the measurements of 25’x19’. This is a copy after the famous painting with the title "Blue Boy" by the British artist Gainsborough. This copy was made by the probably American artist Charles RADOFF (1894-1986).
Artworks of this artist were rarely recently offered and sold on the international and national auction market.
This piece is in good condition and there are no serious damages visible.
An estimation would be between 400 to 600 USD.
This estimation is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and vary.
With kind regards,
Georg
