    This is a small oil on canvas about 19 X 24 cm. It's a charming little picture, and i think executed with a skilled hand.

    What do you think?

    Can you read the signature? 20210105_161839.jpg 20210105_161945.jpg

    First thought that comes to mind - if that is supposed to be a French horn it is being held upside down.

    Nothing on the back that would identify it. Here's a photo:

    But it is a fun picture.

    It might be by Adolfo Dumini. What do you think?

    but you're going to need proper appraisal by people with hands on experience. Run it by some auction houses and see what they have to say.

    Looks like the same model.

    I think those examples are a pretty close match.
