Thank you for submitting your item for appraisal. This appears to be a painting by Shanghai artist Wang Tian De 王天德.

The painting in your possession is fully signed and the provenance adds to the value. The estimate is based on similar paintings from the same year and same size ( 95 cm in diameter ?) sold at auction. "Asking prices" in the trade and results in chinese auctions can be higher and vary.
