Hello Scott,
Thank you for your appraisal inquiry with Mearto. The item presented appears to be an etching by ans artist names "Van Delft." The print is titled "La Eglise" to the lower margin and features an coloring technique called à la poupée. Unfortunately, the artist appears to relatively unknown. It appears they were a regional artist working with the Paris Etching Society during the early 20th century. There is no definitive biographical information for the artist.
There are very few auction examples for etching signed by this specific artist. The estimate provided is based on recent auction estimates and results of comparable landscape etchings signed "van Delft" or published by Paris Etching Society. Please note asking or dealer prices may vary. Thank you and please take care.
