Dear Richard,

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 the measurements of 23 x 20 inches. The painting depicts a beach scene with a sunset or sundown. It is signed with the name "Hildegard" and on the reverse side of the painting, a dedication is visible. Sadly no further information regarding the biography of this artist is mentioned in reference books or similar databases. This artist was probably not an academically educated and professional artist.
Works by this artist were recently not 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 60 to 120 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,
Georg
