What does this mean?

Dear Joshua,

Thank you for the additional images/ information and your patience.

Sadly regarding technical problems, the images and messages were not displayed. I apologize for the delay of the appraisal.

The presented object appears to be a painting made in oil paint on canvas with the measurements of 31" x 23 1/8". The painting depicts a young girl holding a fairy tale book. The composition and the depiction are a hint that this painting was made by an educated and talented artist around 1900 or shortly later. Sadly just the first name of the signature "Eugene" is clearly readable. The last name under the first name appears to be blurry and not readable.
This piece appears to be in bad 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,
Georg
