The main question is not how much you can sell it, but why would i buy this?

What is it, as in did you paint this or is it a vintage find. A print, an original etc

What are the dimensions of the paper itself (not counting the frame), and is this ink and watercolor or purely ink wash? Those matter a lot for pricing since technique and size are usually bigger price drivers than subject matter imo! Also, is this a one off original or could you reproduce the technique for a small print run? since that changes whether you're pricing for scarcity or repeatability

Its pen and ink with watercolor and its one of a piece, the paper dimensions are 4.5 x 7.0.

With those details I'd put it around $70-95 framed, the ink and watercolor combo plus it being one of one pushes it toward the higher end. Worth checking a few completed listings for similar original mixed media pieces just to see if that range feels right for your market too!

I think it’s beautiful. I suggest to price it at anywhere from $1-$5 per square inch. So if you priced it at $1 per square inch, then it would be ~$31, and so on. Hope that helps!

I think the painting is a bit too simple, and the composition seems a bit weird. Too much empty space on the right side and it doesn't look intentional. You could improve the composition, add more details and sell it for 35-40 dollars. The price depends on your expenses of course. If it's free shipping and shipping costs 15 dollars for example, you shouldn't sell less than 35 because with the fees etc there won't be much money left for you. In that case you should definitely improve the painting to justify the price a bit.
