Dear Syrichas,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
The presented object appears to be a painting in oil on canvas on paper with the measurements of 35 x 55 cm including the frame. The artwork depicts a view of a landscape with a bridge and cattle. This motif and the style are typical for British artworks of the 19th century. There is a signature R. Plume or R. Plumer.
Sadly no additional information for an artist with this name fitting in style and motif is given by reference books and databases.
Comparable objects were recently offered and sold on the international auction market.
This piece is in medium condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 250 to 500 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,
George
