Dear Gregory,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

The presented object appears to be a painting made in oil or acrylic paint on mansonite 11 x 14
inches measurements. The painting depicts a paddle steamer with the name Queen Natchez. This artwork is signed by the artist Dick Malane and dated 1987. Sadly no additional information for an artist with this name fitting in style and motif is given by reference books and databases.

Comparable objects were recently offered and sold on the international auction market.
This piece is in good condition and no severe damage is visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 150 to 350 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,
George
