Oil painting signed 'SB'

This is an original oil painting on canvas depicting a nighttime or dimly lit market scene, featuring several figures browsing produce displays with price tags. The physical characteristics include textured impasto brushwork, visible canvas weave in unpainted or thinly painted dark areas, and a predominantly dark palette contrasted with vibrant tones of green, red, and orange in the fruit and vegetable stalls. Notable features include pricing signs reading numbers such as '1.99', '0.99', and other less legible figures, as well as a legible monogram signature reading 'SB' in the lower right corner. The condition appears stable with standard surface dust and minor wear consistent with unauthenticated contemporary artworks. The owner-supplied attribution identifies the piece as titled 'Girls', dated to the year 2000, and created by artist Susanna Borg measuring approximately 40x30x2 cm, though these user-supplied claims are entirely unverified by physical inspection or documentation. The attribution in the name rests purely on the visible monogram signature located at the lower right. The style suggests a contemporary figurative approach with expressionistic handling of light and texture, displaying medium-level technical execution.

Based on what I can see in the provided image, this work is an original oil painting on canvas depicting a nighttime market scene with textured impasto brushwork, measuring approximately 40x30x2 cm, and bearing a monogram signature reading 'SB' in the lower right corner. Per user submission: the owner identifies this as titled 'Girls', dated to the year 2000, and created by artist Susanna Borg. However, I can't verify from a photo whether the signature is contemporaneous or if the painting is indeed by this artist, as visible markings can be misleading. I would need physical inspection to confirm the materials and age. Assuming the attribution is correct, contemporary figurative oil paintings of this scale and style typically command a modest market range of $400 to $800, driven by general demand for expressive, modern genre scenes. If the attribution proves incorrect and the work is merely in the style of, a copy, or by an unknown hand, the value would likely decrease to a decorative range of $100 to $250. To further evaluate and establish the identity of the maker, this piece would require in-person expert appraisal, provenance documentation, and careful examination of the canvas and pigments.
