Tiger on real silk from Vietnam with artist signature

Hello Amy,
Thank you for your appraisal inquiry with Mearto. I apologize for the delay in your appraisal and thank you for your patience. The item presented appears to be an ink and gouache painting on paper of a tiger in the East Asian style, possibly Vietnam or Cambodia. Based on the images provided, the work appears to date to the early to mid 19th century and presents some aging conditions, notably to the edges. Unfortunately, we were unable to translate the inscription to the corner. The seal is quite faded. Nevertheless, there are many auctino records of work similar to this object. The estimate provided is based on recent auction estimates and results of comparable oink paintings, dating to the 19th century of similar depictions, considering the seen conditions. The estimate is contingent on a full condition report. Please note asking or dealer prices may vary. Thank you and please take care.
