Dear Abigail,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
The presented object appears to be a painting made in oil on board with the measurements of 8.5 x 4.5 inches. The painting depicts a canary bird in flight. The painting is signed by the French artist Marcel J. Gingembre D'AUBEPINE (1843-1893) in the second half of the 19th century.
Paintings of this artist were recently rarely 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 100 to 200 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,
George
