Dear William,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. My sincere apologies for the delay with the appraisal.
The presented object appears to be a woodcut or linocut print with 12 x 12 inches measurements. The painting depicts a motif from the Netherlands or the North of France. It is dated 1959 and has not have a clearly readable edition. Also sadly the signature of the artist in pencil is not clearly readable.
Sadly no additional information for an artist with this name fitting in style and motif is given by reference books and databases.
Comparable objects were recently offered and sold on the international auction market.
This piece is in good condition and no severe damage is visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 40 to 80 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
