Dear Andrea,
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 27 ½ ” x 59 1/2”. The painting depicts two guitars in an abstracted style. This painting was made by the artist Carl LELLA (1899-?).
Works by this artist were recently offered once and remained unsold 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 400 to 800 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
