It would be downright depressing to spend hundreds of hours creating a work like this and have it sell for a couple hundred bucks. My suspicion is that this is actually a giclee print on canvas, which allows the artist to sell an unlimited number of "originals". This would explain why the seller has 30 paintings by the same artist all listed for starting bids of $199.
The artist also has a website, with lots of great images, including some more with cards:
