Hello Jon, Thank you for your appraisal inquire with Mearto. I apologize for the delay and appreciate your patience during these unprecedented times. The item presented appears to be a gouache painting on fabric depicting a peacock and white flowers, dating to the 20th century. The work is marked to the lower right edge. However, we are unable to translate the script. The peacock symbolizes wisdom in the Japanese culture and is thought to influence good people away from evil. The painting does appear to present condition issues such as moisture or water stains to the left upper corner, which may effect the overall value. Based on recent auction records and estimate of similar Japanese style gouache paintings, this work may received an auction estimate range of $100 - 500, depending on size and condition. Thank you again for your inquiry and I hope you have a warm holiday. Stay safe.
