Dear Frederick Lyle Von Thrauthemburg,
Thank you for the additional images and your patience.
The presented object appears to be a painting made in oil paint on wood with the measurements of 12 x 16 inches. The painting depicts a winter landscape and a woman on a path through a forest. This painting is signed with the name "J. C. Joost". This painting was made around 1900. Sadly no further information regarding the biography of this artist is mentioned in reference books or similar databases.
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.
A fair market estimation would be between 200 to 400 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
I have added to photos, one of the back which is dark wood or stained dark and the signature, the painting is out for framing
