This is an original, vintage, 20th century painting of sailboats on the water in a port or a bay. The paint is applied in impasto, or thick and heavy layers and the signature is illegible. Checking against all listed artists with the last name Eck, Alveck and Albeck there is not a match to the signature of style. The estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail 'asking prices' can be higher and vary.
