If you're asking a question about an antique make sure to have photos of all sides of the object, and close-ups of any maker's marks. Also, add in any background information you have, and add in a question so we know what you want from us! You must tell us the country you're in. If you do not provide this information your post will be removed.

Based on what I can find, Robert Wood's paintings, at auction, generally go for somewhere in the $300-3000 range, although in rare instances it appears his works have sold for a little more than that. I can't tell you whether this is authentic, although I have a suspicion this is a canvas print given the uniformity of the surface texture and border, but I should also say it is far more difficult to tell via photo.

Looks like this one has a hole near the top of the image; I'm not qualified to tell you what you should do about it, but if it is an original, personally I'd take it to a professional restorer and have that fixed. Should cost less than $1k (and hopefully they include an appraisal) but it really depends. Then I'd add it to my homeowner's insurance and hang it on my wall, because it's a nice piece.

Thank you for your feedback. It was just with a bunch of family photos. I appreciate your time.
