You have a framed work by the Norwegian-American artist, Arne Berger (1872 - 1951) who was active in Minnesota. He is known for altar paintings, landscapes and portraits; yours being a farm landscape. The images attached here are only opening to thumbnail size. It is typical for these veneered frames to chip. The images do show water damage to the artwork on the back side and rippling and toning on the front. Generally, this type of damage would not be easily remedied with restoration and would likely be cost prohibitive. The estimate is based on comparables and factors in the condition with the presumption that this is an original work and not a print of a work.
