Italian painter Rosselle, appraised by Antiques Roadshow

I bought this fairly large oil painting, but i cannot find anything on the artist and I was wondering how it was appraised and if its still worth the same/more/less than what it was originally appraised at 24 years ago. I heard recently from someone that European artwork is dropping in value due to the market being flooded with sales and less demand.

It appears to be an interpretation of Hans Buchner's 'Pensieri.'

Here you are

 

Ill give it a shot. I didnt know this existed

 

Is your work signed "Rosselle" or just attributed to him?

Debora

 

No signature that I can see. Just this blue card that was attached to it that attributes it to him

 

The internet says Britnell's Diamond Jubilee was celebrated in 1943. Not sure if that's right because the firm was founded in 1873, according to the sticker, and a Diamond Jubilee is 60 years. A Platinum Jubilee is 70 years.

Toronto 1884..

 

I'm terrible at math but... Wouldn't that make a Diamond Jubilee 1944?
