It was made in the second half of the 20th century. The name Barnice Gable is probably the name of an former owner. Pierre and the dating 1962 does not lead to an known artist. This artwork was made as an souvenir for visitors of Paris.
Works by 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 60 to 120 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
