Dear Abigail,
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 12 x 8 inches. This artwork depicts a still life with white grapes. The painting is signed Vinalet which could be identified as the Catalonian artist Manuel Vinalet. This motif stands in the tradition of the Spanish still life of the 17th century which mainly depicted motifs of poverty connected to Christological motifs in contrast to the rich and luxurious still lives of the Netherlands.
Paintings of 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 250 to 500 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
