Dear Hal,
Thank you for your help and patience.
The presented object appears to be a charcoal drawing on paper with 10.5 x 13 5 inches measurements. The drawing depicts the portrait of a girl in a traditional dress with a hat. It could be an alpine or Italian costume. This drawing was probably made in France around 1800 by a not identified artist.
Comparable objects were recently offered and sold on the international auction market.
This piece is in medium condition and no severe damage is visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 150 to 300 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
