| The following information was taken from the original web listing of this artwork. Note that there may be some inaccuracies:
This is a very nice Japanese woodcut/woodblock color print of a woman holding a baby and a cross in the background. It reminds me of the Madonna and child and the Cross in the background. The image is very bold and striking. The image size measures approximately 10 x 14 inches and the frame measures about 17 x 21 inches. The print is original to the frame and I have chosen not to remove it. The signature is signed in pencil and can be seen in the lower right corner below the artist's cartouche. I do not see any tears, stains or other imperfections.
