Online Appraisal
D. I have my grandmother's Alphonse Moto oil on canvas painting from 1960's-1970's era. Is in excellent condition except for a bit of wear and tear on the paper covering the back.

I believe he was a Congolese painter born in 1938. It's a nice piece, hard to sell. I'd call it $350 if I were doing an insurance appraisal, but if you can get $150 you can probably call yourself an art dealer. The market for secondary artists is weak.
