I would recommend an appraisal done by an art dealer or a museum.

I am not sure of the painting,but it does look a bit like some works of Renoir ,

Sorry for double posting....
but I found details about the painting...
It is a copy of Renoirs work as I had guessed.

Pierre-Auguste Renoir: By the Seashore - Auguste Renoir Gallery, the original it seems is in Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

What you have must be a reproduction done in oil.

thanks for ur response..and post as much as u like so its not original ?? maybe he have done 2 orignals??cuz its very old and the colorz is still on it>

As far as we know, there's only one (probably) Renoir of this subject. Someone has faithfully copied Renoir's style and a particular painting.

An art appraiser should be able to tell you more, plus the painting's worth, if any.

um thnx for replying ((wondergirl)) ..i will show it to an art appraiser..
if is it not original..does worth any thing?

Wondergirl

Since it's a good copy, probably not--but I'm not an art expert. It might be worth thousands (especially if the painter established himself as a professional artist). Please remember me if it's worth thousands.

Another kind of person who might be able to help with an appraisal would be an auctioneer. Especially one who might deal a lot with works of art.
