I purchased an oil painting by the artist Guan Zebu over 25 years ago from an art gallery in San Francisco. The paining is of a young lady relaxing on a window base with outdoor background holding a violin in one hand and the bow delicately in the other hand. I have tried without success to learn more about the painting and reached out to the artist Mr. Zeju, but no success. Can you recommend how I may learn more about the painting. My daughter has founded a non profit center for care and treatment of cancer patients and is having a auction. I want to donate the painting to her auction, but would like to better understand the value of the piece of art. I paid $5,000 for the paining when I purchased it some 25 years ago. Thanks for considering my request. Barry Bellue
