This drawing is 22" x 18". It is pastel or oil pastel I believe. The artist for some reason added an extra inch to the bottom. To fit in the frame or add the signature? It is a strange and amateurish addition to what to me is a fairly technically sophisticated and beautiful drawing.

Hi Bruce, Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. This appears to be part of a large production of decorative artwork - done in China - for the export market. I suspect that the work was originally intact but erroneously cut but framed up anyway; regardless, it certainly detracts from the value. Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is: Chinese School, 20th Century Mountain Landscape with Lake pastel on paper character signature lower right 18 by 22 inches matted and framed CONDITION: lower inch of composition has been sliced through but included in the frame $100-150* *represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary. Please let us know if you have additional items to appraise, and thank you again for using Mearto.
