This painting has been painted by Turkish miniature artist Zeynep.
Dear Zeynep,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. My sincere apologies for the delay with the appraisal.
The presented object appears to be a mixed media artwork on paper with unknown measurements. The artwork depicts several scenes or motifs from Istanbul and was made in the late 20th or 21st century by an unknown artist named Zeynep.
Sadly no additional information for an artist with this name fitting in style and motif is given by reference books and databases.
Comparable objects were recently offered and sold on the international auction market.
This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 50 to 100 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,
George
