Hello Steve,

Thank you for your appraisal inquiry with Mearto. The item presented appears to be oil painting on canvas depicting a young girl with a doll. The name of "Tuiei M." one of a listed artist. I did run multiple searches in the effort to match the signature and attribute the artist. I ran searches for the following: Tuiei; Tulei; and substitute the T for F, J, and P. No search yielded a signature match, unfortunately.

Based on the image, age, and quality of the execution, a similar painting not attributed to an artist would likely reach a fair market estimate value of $100 - 700, depending on size. The estimate provided is based on recent auction estimates and results of comparable paintings. The estimate is contingent on a full condition report. Please note asking or dealer prices may vary. Thank you and please take care.
