Hello Kathy,
Thank you for your appraisal inquiry with Mearto. The item presented appears to be a gouache and ink painting in the style of Xiao Meng (Shanxi) depicting cranes in a winter landscape. However, the painting is lacking the proper seal. Due to the lack of seal, the object may be more likely a decorative work, which is not uncommon as these images were produced for export throughout the 20th century. The estimate provided is based on recent auction estimates and results of comparable decorative painting in the style of Chinese traditional paintings of cranes. The estimate is contingent on a full condition report. Please note asking or dealer prices may vary. Thank you and please take care.
