Dear Jill,
Thank you for contacting us again with this other appraisal inquiry.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is a:
Philippine oil painting
20th Century
Size: 24 (h) x 36 (w) inches
Condition: appears to be in excellent condition
Signed on the lower right
Unfortunately, I had some trouble deciphering the artist's signature. I've tried many variations such as "Jim Dufay", but without success, I am afraid. If you have any further information regarding the artist's signature, please let me know, and I will be happy to research further.
Therefore, the estimate provided is based on recent auction estimates and similar Philipinne paintings without artist attribution, dating from the 1900s to the 1970s.
Please note that once pieces bought at auction are in galleries, they are usually a minimum of two to three times the price paid at auction. I hope this assists you.
Best regards,
Karine
