Dear Michael,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

Based on the images and available information, this item is:

A watercolor painting depicting a city or with mountainous landscapes. The paintings appear to depict traditional Japanese landscape watercolors, which makes sense based on the traditional paintings that were made after WWII.

Based on the information provided and research allotted, these works are likely created by a Japanese artisan working for an export workshop. Signed. The estimate provided is based on recent auction estimates and results of comparable landscape watercolors, dating to the early 20th century. The estimate is contingent on a full condition report and is applied to the collection as a presented. Please note asking or dealer prices may vary.
