What does this mean?

Dear Leslie,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

The presented object appears to be a painting made in oil or acrylic paint on canvas with the measurements of 25" x 47". The painting depicts a market scene with many people with food s and other products. The painting is signed with a signature which is difficult to read. A possible reading could be N Jaqagwes. Sadly no further information regarding the biography of this artist is mentioned in reference books or similar databases. This painting was made in the second half of the 20th century.
This piece is in good condition and there are no serious damages visible.
An estimation would be between 100 to 200 USD.
This estimation is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and vary.

With kind regards,
Georg
