Roland Detre. Approx. 12" x 14". It appears to be painted with pastels/crayons. It is a scene of sailboats/rowboats clustered in a bay. Lots of black, brown, aqua blue, and some orange/red/yellow. You can see pencil markings throughout the piece. I researched the signature online - it looks very similar to his other works and is in the lower right corner. It does NOT appear to be any kind of copy or reproduction. I inherited it from my parents. Date of production is uncertain (perhaps early 20th century). It's in it's original frame: glass, a simple 1/2" black wood frame and a 2" border of camel-colored matting around the painting. The brown paper has been removed from the back of the frame. Underneath is a cardboard inlay held in place by about 20 brads. The brads seem to have been placed by a professional; they're evenly spaced and are holding the cardboard in place firmly (and the brads are slightly rusted). A wire was connected with screws for hanging.

Sorry, I have no idea. It's possible that my father inherited it from his father, who was born in approx. 1900.
