Dear Amy,
Thank you for your patience and help. My sincere apologies for the delay with the appraisal.
The presented object appears to be a woodblock print in colors on paper with the measurements of 14 x 10.25 inches. This print comes from series of five prints with the title "Horses" made in the year 1950 by the Japanese artist Mokuchu URUSHIBARA (1888-1953). This pint is hand signed in pencil by the artist.
This artist combined traditional techniques and style with Western art of the first half of the 20th century. Also he chose the motifs of the modernization like trains and similar machines for his art.
Works by this artist were recently offered and sold on the international auction market.
This piece is in medium condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 100 to 200 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
