For auction is a wonderful watercolor by renowned Japanese artist / watercolorist Kinichiro Ishikawa (1871-1945). Found at an estate sale, the painting is being sold unframed for safe shipping. The watercolor measures 12 ½” x 18” and is signed in the left lower corner KIN-ISHIKAWA. ****************** Condition: 1) Very good with no tears. 2) There are two possible age spots in the clouds to the left of the tall tree near the very top. 3) There is a probable 1/4" minor age scuff to the right of the mill.
4) There are two small spots - 1/4" and 1/3" - that have possibly had a blue re-touch (see left photo bottom row). Or not, but I'm attempting to mention anything that could be a flaw.
5) There is a corner crease on the back of the painting but it does not show through to or affect he front |
