Japanese art
30 July 2020
Description

The art is printed on a patterned paper- I believe it is rice paper. It was given to me by a man who was deployed to Japan in the 1970s so I believe the art is Japanese but I’m not positive.

Hello Sarah,

Thank you for your appraisal inquiry with Mearto. I apologize for the delay in your appraisal and I am grateful for your patience. The item presented appears to be Chinese silk painting in the Traditional style, dating to the early - mid 20th century based on the images provided. Unfortunately, I was unable to translate the script to the upper margin. However, most of inscriptions on these paintings are poems.

The estimate provided is based on recent auction estimates and results of other comparable 20th century Chinese traditional style silk paintings, dependent on size. Please note asking or dealer prices may vary. Thank you and please take care.
