I have a painting that I have been unable to identify the artist or determine its value. The painting is done on a stretched fabric, with another painting underneath (reused canvas), depicting a Southwestern Indian maiden with dark colors and a beautiful facial expression. The signature appears to be W M Beausoliel or WM Beausoled, dated 97. The painting is in fair condition, needing restoration due to paint flaking, likely because it was painted over another piece. It is on a wood frame with nails attaching the fabric, which appear to be pre-machined. What can you tell me about the artist, the painting's value, and any additional steps I should take?

I have a very old Nanny/Mammy Rocker from the mid-1800s in excellent condition with detailed but faded paint, the original gate that can switch to either side of the bench, and trimmed in faded gold. Where do I start to get it appraised and where would I best market the sale of this piece?
