Oil Painting by Bendel?

Question

My grandmother has a painting , which by her estimates is over 100 years old and originated in Italy. It is a painting of a ballerina and is signed by the artist Bendel. I was wondering if anyone has ever heard of him or if this piece might have any value at all. She is trying to sell it to offset some of her health care costs. Please let me know if anyone has any knowledge of the artist BENDEL. This is a very large piece and I believe that it is an oil painting. Thank you in advance for your help.
