What does this mean?

Hello Larry,

Thank you for submitting this item for an appraisal.

Subject to a physical inspection, the presented object appears to be an alabaster or marble copy after a sculpture by Etienne-Maurice Falconet (French, 1716-1791), titled "Bather," which is part of the permanent collection of the Louvre in Paris: https://collections.louvre.fr/en/ark:/53355/cl010092023 It measures approximately 24 inches (60cm) so it is a reduction from the original's approximately 80cm. There appears to be some light damage in the images provided.

Based on recently achieved auction results for similar items (see below), I would estimate the current fair market value between $300 and 400, though retail and asking prices may vary.
