Dear Andrew, Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. My sincere apologies for the delay with the appraisal. The presented object appears to be a Gouache drawing on paper with unknown measurements. The artwork depicts a woman in traditional Indian dress in a garden scene. The drawing is signed by Vijay and was made by the Indian contemporary artist Vijay Sharma Pahari an Indian miniature painter based in Chamba, Himachal Pradesh. His artworks are reviving the tradition of Pahari miniature painting, reminiscent of the kalam of artists such as Devidas of Basohli or Nainsukh and Manaku of Guler. Comparable objects were recently offered and sold on the international auction market. This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided. A fair market estimation would be between 150 to 300 USD. This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary. With kind regards, George
