Dear Michael,

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
31 xc23 inches measurements. The painting depicts a mountainside with a farmhouse in the Alps. It is signed with the name "Jak Heckea". Sadly no additional information for an artist with this name fitting in style and motif is given by reference books and databases. This artwork was made in the middle or second half of the 20th century. There is a possibility that this artwork was made by an Asian artist for the European market.
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.
A fair market estimation would be between 200 to 400 USD.
This estimate is based on recently recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.

With kind regards,
George
