This print was made and signed by the artist LU Jai (1954). The Chinese born artist LU Jai (1954) depicts mainly portraits of women combined with esoterical and mythological iconography.

This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 200 to 400 USD.
This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.
