This is a vintage, mid 20th century, original oil on canvas portrait painting of a Rabbi. It is definitely not a work from the 18th century, or 1700's as evidenced by the style, canvas, and the framing as seen from the backside or verso. It is illegibly scratch signed on the front and it appears as H.S. Tosman. Checking against various permutations of possible spellings of the signature, a match to a list artist was made. The estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail 'asking prices' can be higher and vary.
