"Frustaciones Que Matan", a painting by Carlos Rodriguez Yorde
A painting cartoon of a cut-off penis in horizontal position with a safety pin in the tip. It is being riden (like a horse) by a black crow, and a landscape with trees, and a clock house. It has a wind-up in the back, and is held up by legs in the back and wheels in the front.

Dear Linda,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry and for supplying me with the dimensions. Carlos Rodriquez Yorde does not have any secondary (auction) sales with which to use as a basis for a fair-market appraisal so I have considered recent auction sales of Surrealist 20th/21st century school works of roughly the same size to gauge the current fair-market value for this work.
Based on the photographs and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
