What does this mean?

Hello Nora,

I’m very glad that you chose Mearto for your online appraisal,

Considering the photographs, overall pattern, printing qualitty and the colours, I concluded that this is a Contemporary Japanese Print. Dating back to the 1990-1995 period. Considering the perfect shape and the paper type as well as the composition this piece's first owner is likely the current owner. The piece depicts a Japanese Woman resembling a moment of waiting for inspiration. The Japanese Woman is on the writing process of a scroll, likely depicting an ancient time. The style is very simplistic, appropriate for the period. The seal on the left was used mostly in 1990's but it's not from a famous atelier or an artist. The piece was done on a thin paper, there is no frame or backing. The piece is in perfect condition without visible problems.

Japanese Print.

Dimensions: 15.5 Inches by 14 5/8 Inches

Condition: The piece is in perfect condition without visible problems.

Provenance: It was a gift to the current customer from some Japanese people that the customer was teaching in Nagoya in about 1995.

50-80$.

Hi!
There is no frame for this print. By the way, I should have also said I believe it's an original, not a reprint.

Can you also please tell me the year that it was done and the name of the artist.

Thank you!

Thank you for your appraisal. I guess now I need to decide if I really want to sell it, yes?

Please let me know how long I have before I need to let you know.

Thank you!

Nora
