Material looks like a oil painting but looks so fine dimensions are 16 and a half tall and 13 and a half wide well preserved painting not many scratches looks to me old 1800s but I hope y’all can tell if it’s authentic or not

Dear Jose,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. So that I may best assist you, can you please upload a few better images (such as close-ups of the painting). Is there a signature anywhere?
Thanks,

Dear Jose,
Thank you for replying to us so quickly.
After close inspection, the appraised item appears to be a copy of an original oil painting by Margaret Dovaston (1884-1955) entitled "A good song". Your work is slightly smaller than the original painting, which measures (unframed) 20" h x 16" w. For your information, the original painting was sold in 2013 by Christie's, London:

The value of this copy is between $200 and $300. This is based on comparable of these last five years.
Best wishes,
Karine
I have uploaded a few close ups you can see the material type and signature is on the bottom right corner
