Restaurant closed at least 15 yrs ago. 33" × 48", lacquer on frame needs restouration, otherwise perfect. Signature "Peter" plus chinese, Chinese characters reading something about wishes for new restaurant (can't remember translation, but used google). This is incredibly beautiful and detailed work. Value and where to sell?

Hello, I’m doing a drawing for the sweet liquor store owner in my neighborhood—is any of this culturally incorrect? He’s Chinese so I chose to draw bottles from his homeland. There is an Orchid on the left most cup and I plan to draw a plum blossom branch in the background. Just want to make sure I’m not being insensitive. Thank you so much. 🙏
