Dear Carl,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. My sincere apologies for the delay with the apprisal.

The presented object appears to be a painting made in oil paint on canvas with the measurements of 18 x 14 inches. The painting depicts a rural house with a garden. It was made and signed by the artist Cao Yong (Chinese, b. 1962). He paints mainly portraits and landscapes.
Works by this artist were recently offered and sold on the international auction market.
This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 300 to 600 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,
Georg
