----------------------------
From an email to (Ross):
I have several of this artist’s works including one that you have listed as “unknown title” child wearing veil and is marked 50/50. It is titled “Mystery”. They were all acquired by my brother when he was serving as a physician in the Air Force and was stationed at Tachikawa, Tokyo Japan during the Viet Nam years.
----------------------------
The print is 11.95 inches by 18 inches wide.
It is in good condition with no repairs, tear, nor stain, except small tear the backing of the frame.
