What does this mean?

This is a vintage framed original painting that dates to the 3rd quarter of the 20th century, 1950’s - 1970’s that is signed S. Hopkins. It is by what is known as an unlisted artist, meaning one that does not sell at auction for fine art collector and investor purposes, but a painting that is more intended for decorative framed original wall art for the home, hotel or lobby setting. Oftentimes, the artist’s name that is on the painting is fictitious and they painted in factory settings in Mexico and China. They were sold in decorator shops, furniture show room stores and department store furniture sections. The estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail 'asking prices' can be higher and vary.
