Appraisal Report
This appears to be an original oil painting by the late Belarusian-Israeli artist Leonid Afremov (1955-2019), known for his distinctive impasto technique using a palette knife and vibrant depictions of rainy cityscapes. The painting showcases a characteristic nocturnal street scene with figures under umbrellas and colorful reflections on wet pavement. Afremov's original works are popular. The value depends on factors like size, confirmation of originality (versus a studio work or embellished giclée print), provenance, and condition. Assuming it's a genuine, moderate-sized original oil painting in good condition, its market value is estimated within the provided range. If identified as a giclée print, even with embellishments, the value would be considerably lower ($200-$800). Authentication and detailed examination are recommended for a precise valuation.
