Dear Simon,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
The presented object appears to be a painting made in oil paint on canvas with the measurements of 25 x 21 inches. The painting depicts Maria holding the Immaculate Heart of Mary in front of a wide landscape. This painting was probably made in the 19th or early 20th century probably in Middle or South America. Besides the traditional depiction which is typical additional, the palm trees in the right corner are a hint for this localization.
Works by this artist were recently offered and sold on the international auction market.
This piece is in medium condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 300 to 600 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
