Good morning, Marius,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
This is a copy of Emanuel Gottlieb Leutze's "Washington Crossing the Delaware," which is in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I have looked through the databases of recorded artists and do not find any listed artists with a last name of Andersson and first name beginning with 'D,' so have valued this based on the recent auction sales of other copies of Leutze's painting.
The following auction records have been used to research the fair market value of this painting:
