Hello Jeannette Hawkins,

This watercolor painting, titled "Landscape Watercolor Painting with Calligraphy," represents a serene scene depicting mountains, trees, a flowing river, and a delicate bridge, with faint silhouettes of figures traversing the mountains in the distance. Painted on rice paper, this artwork captures the traditional Asian aesthetic of landscapes, with attention to subtle tonal variations and refined brushwork typical in East Asian art. The 12"x12" image is expertly matted with a 2" border on Arctic White Crescent watercolor board, enhancing its presentation within a bamboo-style frame, measuring 16"x16". The back is protected with a delicate barrier paper, suggesting care in framing to maintain the integrity of the rice paper medium.

The market value of such pieces often depends on the artist's renown and the work's origin. If this piece is attributed to a known artist or school, its value would rise. However, in its current form, based on similar Asian watercolors from non-identified artists, the painting's estimated market value is approximately $100 - $200, considering its condition, traditional technique, and aesthetic appeal.

Best regards,
David
