Dear Natasha,

Thank you for your help and patience. My sincere apologies for the delay with the appraisal.

The presented object appears to be a painting made in oil paint on canvas with
30 x 23 cm measurements. The painting depicts a young boy blowing soap bubbles. this painting was made by the Dutch artist Johannes Jacobus BERKMAN (1776-1834). The painting is signed and dated 1818. This is an outstanding interesting painting showing the interaction of 16th/ 17th Dutch style and 19th-century reception.
Comparable objects were recently offered and sold on the international auction market.
This piece is in good condition and no severe damage is visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 600 to 1200 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,
Gregory
