'SHUMIN'
Asian artist.
An atmospheric watercolour showing a river bordered by cherry trees which are in full bloom. Two boats are moving along, each with three men on board. A group of houses is to be seen towards the wooded area towards the middle of the scene.
The picture is in good original condition, although the sky has lost some colour, there is no foxing. There is a very light water stain in the bottom left hand corner. Signed lower right.
Prices for the artist are to be found on the findartinfo.com site.
20 inches x 13.5 inches. |

| Artist Bio: |
Shumin Ota (1884 – 15 May 1950) was a Japanese painter. His work was part of the painting event in the art competition at the 1936 Summer Olympics [from Wiki]. May have travelled or emigrated to Canada, because watercolour scenes of Canada exist.
