What does this mean?

This is more likely a 'painting' that was created from a photograph, which was a common practice in the late 19th through early 20th centuries. Extreme close-ups of the surface would be helpful to see the surface texture. In general, portrait photos are less desirable on the market than non-commissioned works. The estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail 'asking prices' can be higher and vary.
