Dear Michael,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry and I wish you a Happy New Year 2021. my sincere apologies for the delay with the appraisal.
The presented object appears to be a painted wooden carving with the measurements of 13” x 17”. The POW artwork depicts a landscape with mountains and a farm-house with architecture how it is common in the area of the Alps in Europe. This view is located with "Kleinwalzertal" close to the Tyrolian border. This piece was probably made in the middle of the WWII period.
This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 150 to 400 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
