Dear Frederick,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry again and I hope you are well and healthy.
The presented object appears to be a painting made in oil paint on board with the measurements of 16 x 12 inches. The painting depicts a view of Naples with the coastline to the right side. It was made and signed in the right lower corner by the Italian artist Luigi BERTOLIN GRANDE (1912-1965) who mainly painted landscapes and views of villages and architecture.
Works by this artist 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.

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
