Hi Melina,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
Max Shaye's works sell for high sums at private gallerys and from art dealers but when sold at auction - the values Mearto uses in our appraisals - his paintings sell for very modest sums (only about 2 dozen of his works have sold at auction in the past 10 years, the highest price was about $450) but your painting has a few things going for it: size, bold use of color and it's signed/dated/titled.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
