It looks like maybe a block ink black and white piece done in December of 1935. The inscription reads, "To Sigi Frohe Weihnachten", translated "To Sigi Merry Christmas" . I can't make out the signature. The picture is of a woman's face and hands with vase and flowers against the moon and black background.

Dear Anthony, Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. The presented object appears to be a woodcut or linoleum print on paper with 11 3/4" x 9 1/4" measurements. The artwork depicts an woman wearing an heat and an vase with flowers. Under the print we read written in pencil "To Sigi Frohe Weihnacht" and an signature which could be interpreted as Elke which would be congruent with the letter E in the motif of the print. It has the edition of 12/35 and is dated 1935 Comparable objects were recently offered and sold on the international auction market. This piece is in good condition and no severe damage is visible in the images provided. A fair market estimation would be between 60 to 120 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, Gregory
