Dear customer,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

Comparable objects were recently offered and sold on the international auction market.
This piece is in medium condition and no severe damage is visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 250 to 500 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,
George
Dear customer,
Thank you for your mail. I am sorry that you expected a higher estimate. To give you a comparison this print was sold at Bonhams in May 2022 for just 420 USD.
With kind regards,

Shocked at the low appraisal. One recently sold for 10,000.00 and my insurance replacement value is 9,000.00.
Is it possibly a mistake?
