Japanese painting on fabric (linen, silk?)
This painting hung in my grandfather's home. I have no idea of its age but my oldest sister who is now 71 remembers it as a child. It appears to be hand painted on some type of fabric. There is no artist name on the painting that I have been able to find. A friend of my grandfather's used to travel a lot and would bring him back items from other countries. I have no idea if this is one of them but could be. I don't really know any more than that.
The artwork inside the frame is about 31 x 23.5 and the entire frame is 42 x 33.
It was owned by my grandfather. I don't believe it has ever been exhibited.
