Dear Mel,
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 28 x 48 inches. The painting depicts a cheeta with his prey. The painting was made in the second half of the 20th century. In the left corner, we see a not solvable signature or monogram. It could be interpreted as B Mau (19)60. Sadly no further information regarding the biography of this artist is mentioned in reference books or similar databases.
This piece is in good condition and there are no serious damages visible.
An estimation would be between 150 to 300 USD.
This estimation is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and vary.
With kind regards,
Georg
Dear Mel,
Thank you for the email. This does not influence the estimate.
With kind regards,

thanks georg.. I had raised a corner of the cardboard backing and found what seemed to be a plain hard board that I assumed to be the back of the painting..
