I came across your website and I am writing to offer
> you two watercolors by E. Kato. The dimension is
> approximately 30 x 50 cm (H x W). We found these in
> an
> old estate in Minnesota. Both were painted on paper
> and laid down on board. The edges of the paper is
> not
> smooth (are covered by the mat). The water color
> with

> The watercolor with the fisherman suffers some

> in the sky area. Otherwise it is also very good.

Hi Ross,
The matted size is 32 x 48.5cm. The image size itself
is slightly larger.
I am attaching two unframed images. I also included an
image of the back of the board. Please note that the
watercolors are laid down on board. |
