Size 12x15 inch, oil painting on linen. Seems to me very old, according to the back side of the linen. Linen seems to be hand made, painting has 2 little spots of lost paint, has a signature at the right side bottom corner and painting was re framed, it is possible to see little spots from previous nails.
I sent painting for appraisal and this is the result from Invaluable auction house:"Thank you for submitting your item for appraisal. This appears to be the late 19th century copy after Guido Reni´s famous Ecce Homo painting, signed with initials "F.M.M.". This unknown Jerusalem based artist was most likely making a living by copying religious paintings for tourists which were visiting the holy city. Religious paintings are in lesser demand today. The estimate is based on similar offered or sold at auction. A serious collector of religious art might be willing to pay more than the high estimate."
