What does this mean?

The appraised work appears to be a 20th century copy of an 1890 painting entitled Doctor Faust’s Vision by Polish artist Franciszek Zmurko (1859-1910) now currently housed in a private collection in Warsaw, Poland. Zmurko was a realist painter who studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow and later worked and studied in Vienna and Munich. The appraised work likely depicts a moment from the German legend of Dr. Faust, who made a pact with the Devil to indulge in many worldly pleasures, including the seduction of a young German girl named Gretchen.
