Dear Julie,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
The presented object appears to be a painting made in oil or acrylic paint on canvas with the measurements of 36 x 48 inches. The painting depicts a whimsical scene of a group of child musicians. It was made and signed by Jose Roybal. This kind of group scenes is the main motif for the art of Jose Roybal. Sadly no further information regarding the biography of this artist is mentioned in reference books or similar databases.
Works by this artist were rarely offered and sold on the international auction market.
This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage 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,
Georg
