Thank you for submitting your item for appraisal. This appears to be an albumen print photo after a drawing once ascribed to Agostino Carraci. Agostino Carracci (or Caracci) (16 August 1557 – 22 March 1602) was an Italian printmaker and painter and is best known for his erotic prints. The photo in your possession was most likely a page of a larger book on european museums, a small edition published in the 1870s. The estimate is based on similar decorative albumen prints offered or sold at auction.
