I just got this great (I think!) oil painting and was wondering if anyone can tell what it might be worth and how old it is. Also, I can't make out the artist's signature - Jamir, maybe? It measures about 52" x 29", including the frame. Thank you for your help!

Appears to be a mass-produced "starving artist" type thing. 1970s maybe? Value only as a kitch wallhanging. Who cares what its worth, If you like it, buy some matching swag lamps and hang that biatch in the rec room.
I do indeed plan on valuing it as a "kitch wallhanging"! I like your idea to put it with other retro decor. Thanks!
Janir I dont know how much but i love the way the horses are shown in different poses. do you think you have an original or a reproduction?
Thanks for your response. It's an original. Have you ever heard of this artist before?
I really like the motion of this picture. Could you provide a photo of the back of the piece?
After I took these pictures, I packed it away to wait the day that I'm going to hang it, so it's kinda hard to get out again. The back is just old, torn brown paper and a couple of hangers.
Relivant Ebay Sale Very optimistic seller.
Closed Goodwill Auction More likely valuation.
Great detective work.
Gee, you're good! Thanks for showing me those!
