I have a painting called “Frigate in a Storm by Van de Velde that was fraimed by the Elyria Arts Company for Carmel public Library in Indiana order number 2790. Is this painting worth anything?

I am browsing through these beautiful paintings and downloading all the images to dive into their details.
I am very fond of vintage vassels and looking at this very painting I shiver at the thought of all the hardsips that mariners, sailors and seamen had to confront with in ancient times.
