Description
This is a beautiful & highly skilled original watercolor painting of the Sakashita-Mon Gate in Nikko, Japan. Signed in the bottom right corner. I am unable to date this with any confidence. It is watercolor on paper & the artist displays considerable skill. The colors are bright, detailed, & distinct, & the painting is in good condition. It is framed in a simple wood frame which is painted black on the face & outer edges & with a subtle dark red highlight on the inside, which picks up the little bit of red detail of the flanking doors. The frame edges show some wear & abrasions & paint loss. This is a high quality painting & I wish I knew more about the place & especially the artist. It measures about 11 1/4" high by 15 1/2" wide by 1/2" deep. Backed by cardboard, wired & under glass, & ready to hang. Please note I have another watercolor, by the same artist & framed similarly, & that piece shows the Mortuary Chapel of Tokugawa Ieyasu, also in Nikko, Japan. FREE shipping within the United States. I'll gladly combine shipping with other items whenever possible. For shipment elsewhere, please contact me for a shipping quote.
