Dear Monica,
Thanks for the additional images. I am sorry but the images of the surface are not focused. May I ask you kindly to add more focused and detailed photos. As more information we have as better we can estimate it. Thanks!

Hi Greg I’ve attached more images.
Dear Monica,
Thank you for your help and the additional images. This painting is a portrait of a young boy with a yellow shirt. It is painted with oil on a pressboard. In the left upper corner, it is signed with "L. Larsson" and dated with "1966". This signature is to identify with the artist Leslie Larsson(1913-1970). This American artist mainly depicts scenes which are related to the circus, like clowns. His paintings are offered to high prizes in galleries, but there is just one painting sold in the auction market. An estimation would be from 200 to 400 USD.
This estimation is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and vary.
With best regards,
Georg

The back is nailed making it difficult in viewing the back. I’ve attached pictures of the back. Let me know if I should remove the nails
