Wij hebben een pen tekening van Alfred v Neste Vrij groot met de grote kerk van Antwerpen er op.

Ik zou wel een willen weten wat de waarde van zo`n pen tekening is.
Waar zou ik dat het beste kunnen informeren?

We have an oil painting by Alfred van Neste. It's a lovely painting on a wooden board entitled "les deux bateaux" (two boats). The size is 24 x 36 inches. It depicts a windmill in the background, a farm house with a canal and the two boats. This beautiful painting belonged to my husband's aunt who lived in Antwerp. When she died he inherited it. We now admire it everyday in our home in Canada.

We are wondering what the value of this painting might be.
