Dear Frederick,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. My sincere apologies for the huge delay with the appraisal
The presented object appears to be a painting made in oil or acrylic paint on canvas with measurements of 30 x 40 inches. The painting depicts burning ships in an abstracted style and has the title "The Battle of Norfolk". It was made by Frederick Lyle Morris (20th Century).
Comparable objects 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 3.000 to 6.000 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
