What does this mean?

Dear Coy,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. The apprised object appears to be a mixed media artwork on paper or cardboard with the measurement of 2'x3'. It was highly probably painted with pastel or oil pastel what is difficult to judge just on the base of images. The artwork itself depicts a person with a colorful dress. In the right corner, we see the signature which could be interpreted as "de Breada" or "de Buada". In this case, the A also can be a O. The most probably reading is "de Buoda" because of the high line closing the o to the right. It is dated with 1995. Sadly no artist with such a name is mentioned in auction result lists or similar reference books. This includes alls possible readings of this name.
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
