Dear Mercedes,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
The presented object appears to be a painting made in oil paint on canvas with the measurements of 24 x 36 inches. The painting depicts a South Italian street scene and is signed in the lower right corner with the name Jhon Sanders. Sadly no further information regarding the biography of this artist is mentioned in reference books or similar databases. The writing of the name Jhon surprises a bit and this could be a nome de plume. This painting was made in the second half of the 20th century.
This piece is in good condition and there are no serious damages visible.
An estimation would be between 150 to 250 USD.
This estimation is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and vary.
With kind regards,
Georg
