What does this mean?

Dear Catalina,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

The presented object appears to be a painting made in oil on wood with 40 x 32 inches measurements. The painting depicts a still life with flowers and fruits and was made and signed by Maria Johanna Wilhelmina BECHT
(1881-1953).
Comparable objects were recently offered and sold on the international auction market. The big still lives by Becht often remain unsold.
This piece is in good condition and no severe damage is visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 1.500 to 3.000 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,
Gregory

Dear Catalina,

Thank you for your inquiry about consigning through Mearto. When you submitted your item to us for appraisal, did you select "yes" or "maybe" when you were asked if it was for sale? If so, your item automatically entered a database, which is accessed by a number of regional and international auction houses actively seeking new items for consignment. If there is any interest, they will contact you directly through our platform. You will receive an email notification if one of them makes an inquiry. If you selected "no" when asked if the item was for sale, you can change this so that your item enters the database. Just visit "my collection," select the item, then click the "edit item" button at the top of the page. On the resulting page, click "yes" or "maybe" to answer the question: "Are you looking to sell this item?" Good luck and if there's anything else I can do to help, please just let me know!

With kind regards,
Gregory
