it's a work on paper but the medium is unknown. it is signed by the artist in the lower right corner "o. effendi". i cannot find other examples from this early in his career, but the period marks his initial embrace of abstraction which continued until his dearh from liver cancer in 1985.

What does this mean?

Dear Kelly,

Thank you for your request. The presented object is an ink drawing on paper with unknown measurements. It depicts an abstract motif which reminds of trees and is signed "O. Effendi" and dated "57". Georg Oesman EFFENDI (1919-1985) is an Indonesian artist who mainly painted abstract compositions.
This piece is in good condition and there are no serious damages visible.
An estimation would be between 200 to 400 USD.
This estimation is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and vary.

With best regards,
Georg
