Dear Stephen,
Sorry for having taken so long to reply to your message.
Your work appears to be a copy of the Portrait of Beatrice (Cenci) by the Italian Baroque painter Guido Reni. The original painting can be found at the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Antica of Palazzo Barberini, Rome.
Many reproductions of different qualities have been done over the years. The one you have acquired which measures 30" (h) x 25.5"(w) seems to be from the 19th Century/ early 20th Century.
Comparable copies sell in the price range listed above at auctions.
Best wishes,
Karine
