This is a scroll painting of carp in a pond. Approx 20 inches wide by 6 feet long. I have had it about 50 years.
It was give to me as a gift from a Korean friend.
Hello Charles,
Thank you for your appraisal inquiry with Mearto. The item presented appears to be an ink and gouache scroll painting depicting carp fish. The painting may be Korean or possibly Japanese, and appears to date to the late 19th century. I do not see any signature or inscriptions to attribute to a specific artist. The estimate provided is based on recent auction estimates and results of other comparable Asian scroll paintings, dating to the 19th and 20th centuries, and in similar size and depiction, not attributed to a specific artist. The estimate is contingent on a full condition report. Please note asking or dealer prices may vary. Thank you and please take care. Happy New Year.
