Dear Angel, thank you for your question. Unfortunately we cannot tell you anything about the value of your print since we are only dealing with cultural and art historical values. The work in our collection is a drawing (a unique work of art) and your image might be a reproduction of this drawing. It is wonderful to own such a reproduction and you will probably enjoy it everyday. If you want to know the value, I would advise to look at similar objects for sale or sold at Ebay. Good luck! Els
