Dear Karin,
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 measurements of 37 x 34 inches. The painting depicts an oriental street scene from Marocco and is framed with a frame with typical Maroccan inlay workmanship. The frame was made from wood and the white inlays are probably an artificial white mass. This piece was made in the second half of the 20th century.
Sadly no additional information for an artist 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 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,
George
