Dear Laurel,
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 unknown measurements. The painting depicts a view of a river and a forest and is signed with the name M Hoffmann. On the reverse side, we see the color remarks for the frame in "old-gold and greenish Oxid". "B. Altgold durchbrochene Verzierung, grünlicher Oxid". This piece was made in the 20th century. Sadly no further information regarding the biography of this artist is mentioned in reference books or similar databases.
This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 100 to 200 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
