This is an original vintage, 20th century, oil on canvas framed painting of a young boy in tattered clothing and pageboy hat who is lighting a cigarette whilst seated next to a tall can by New York artist Nick Buongiorno (1908-1985). The artist was known for scenes of everyday life in NYC. The estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail 'asking prices' can be higher and vary.
