What does this mean?

Thank you for your appraisal inquiry with MeArto. I very much apologize for the delay in your appraisal. The item presented appears to be a lithographic reproduction after a work by David Kwo (Chinese, 1919 - 2003) titled "Kim." The print depicts one of the many portraits of artist’s black Siamese cat. The print is stamped and signed to the lower corner with his Chinese name, Da Wei. Based on the paper and size, it appears the print was printed by Kwo Art Studio, New York during the 1950s. The estimate provided is based on recent auction estimates and results of this print. Happy New Year.
