Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

I would treat this painting as if it were valuable until such time you can find out for sure by getting it looked at professionally.
The fact that it's from 1895 could mean that it's worth a bit on antique value alone, but if it's painted by someone who is famous it could be priceless.
Whatever you do don't sell this painting without doing some research and finding out what it's worth first and don't take one opinion as fact either, get several different opinions so you're sure to get yourself the best price possible.
