What does this mean?

Dear Ramkumar,

Thank you for your help and patience.

The presented object appears to be a serigraph print on paper with measurements of 31,5 x 41 inches. This appears to be a photomechanical print after an oil painting made by the Indian artist Maqbool Fida HUSAIN (1915 - 2011) or also known as M.F. Husain. It has the title "Mother Teresa," and was originally painted circa 1988 or 1989. The original painting is held in the collection of the National Gallery of Modern Art in New Delhi. I attach a link that has additional information regarding the original painting (https://artsandculture.google.com/asset/mother-teresa/HgHBJP2WaoT-5A?hl=en).
This piece is in bad to medium condition and there are stains on the paper visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 10 to 40 USD.
This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.

With kind regards,
George

Dear George,
The following is the write up in Google on this art work - Hope it helps you:
"'Mother Teresa', a large painting shows the maturity and the strength that Husain acquired over the years. The painting shows a faceless figure with soft flowing drapes of the blue bordered white saree that was adorned by Mother Teresa, leaning protectively over the body of an old man."
