Dear Dennis,

Greetings and thank you for calling upon the experts at Mearto to evaluate your Old Master style oil on canvas painting depicting St. Joseph holding his blooming stick and the Christ Child.

This is a 19th century painting which has been painted in the Renaissance style and has been aged to resemble a 16th century painting. This piece does exhibit condition issues including overall craquelure and subsequent flaking and these will affect the value. There is a market for Renaissance style paintings and based on recent sales of similar styles paintings, I'd expect this one to sell between 125Euro and 175Euro.

Thank you for submitting to Mearto, have a great day.

Sincerely,

Erin-Marie
