Hello J,
Thank you for your appraisal inquiry with Mearto. I apologize for the delay in your appraisal and thank you for your patience. The item presented appears to be a gouache painting of bamboo and blossoms in the Chinese style. The image and composition has been mass produced throughout the 20th century for scroll paintings by Chinese artisan houses for export. The inscription to this work as well as many of these objects is likely a poem relating to the season. The red seals are typically the publisher or artisan house. The estimate provided is based on recent auction estimates and results of comparable scroll paintings, with similar depictions, dating to the 20th century, depending on size. The estimate is contingent on a full condition report. Please note asking or dealer prices may vary. Thank you and please take care.
