What does this mean?

Thank you for contacting Mearto. This is an ink on silk folding panel of a traditional shanshui scene. From the style of painting and condition of the piece it is probably from the 20th century. The composition and brushwork is really nicely done, and the palette is interesting- the earthier tones in contrast with the unexpected bright white accents. The Fair Market Value of your piece is between $200 and $500. I have added a few links below to a variety of screens to give you an idea of what other screens are selling for.

Est. $300-$500
