Dear Mario,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
The presented object appears to be a painting made in oil paint on canvas with the measurements of 35 x 45 inches. The painting depicts a Dutch street scene and was made in the second half of the 19th century. It was probably signed by the Dutch artist Louis I VERBOECKHOVEN (1802-1889). This artist mainly depicted maritime scenes like this painting.
Artworks of this artist were recently offered and sold on the international and national auction market.
This piece is in good condition and there are no serious damages visible.
An estimation would be between 900 to 1.500 USD.
This estimation is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and vary.
With kind regards,
Georg
