This pair of pics are framed in gold leaf frames and signed by the artist. The art was purchased from a art gallery and collector 20 years ago. unfortunately the specialist whom sold us these has passed away. They were very expensive and suppose to be an investment. The artist work is with rice paper we are told. The art is approx 20" x 34" and the framing is 28" x 42 "
Purchase from an art gallery and collector.
Thank you for submitting your item for appraisal. This appears to be a mid 20th century japanese gouache painting on wove paper depicting various japanese fans, possibly originaly planned to be used for a decorative Byōbu 屏風 folding screen. The first character most likely reads "Hara", the second character is very difficult to decipher as it does not match writing patterns. The estimate is based on similar decorative paintings sold at auction.
