Hello!

I’m very glad that you chose Mearto for your online appraisal. 

Considering the photos, this item is:

A mid 20th century watercolor on paper (probably mulberry or pith paper) Japanese painting. Good condition and framed. These types of Japanese panels with iconic fish scenes, specially carps, and striking backgrounds surrounded by flowers and nature depict good fortune and protection symbols. Carps are particularly depicting as a pair or in groups as it provides good luck. The motifs in this set are recurrent motifs in the 20th century Asian art.

Not signed. Good condition.

$ 100 - 200

*represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary.

Re-examined and the picture is not on silk but painted on paper. Will send several new pictures.
