Hello Drew,

Thank you for choosing Mearto for your online appraisal.

This vintage Japanese Geisha gouache on silk painting, elegantly framed with gilt bamboo details, is a captivating example of traditional Japanese artistry. The gouache technique on silk allows for intricate detailing, showcasing the skilled hand of the artist.

The subject matter, featuring a Geisha, aligns with the rich cultural heritage of Japanese art, often depicting scenes from daily life or traditional performances. The gilt bamboo frame enhances the visual presentation, providing a decorative element that complements the delicate beauty of the painting.

The use of silk as a canvas adds a luxurious texture to the artwork, and the careful application of gilt details underscores the attention to detail. This piece likely originated during the mid to late 20th century, showcasing a blend of traditional Japanese artistic techniques with elements of contemporary framing.

Signed. Signature not recognised.
