Dear Laura,
Thank you for the additional images and your patience. The presented object is a painting made in oil paint on canvas with the measurements of 46 x 33 inches. It depicts Mary in the pose of the Mother of Mery with an outspread coat which is held by two angels in each corner to the left and right. Under the coat, we see four saints in the pose of adoration. The style of the painting is strongly related to the so-called "School of Cusco" and was painted in the late 18th or more probable in the 19th-century in South America most probably in Argentina.
This piece is in damaged condition and we see many damages of the surface of the painting which is not surprising reminding the age of this artwork. The frame is a later addition of the last third of the 20th century.
An estimation would be between 1500 to 3000 USD.
This estimation is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and vary.
With best regards,
Georg
