Kawase- Early Morning at Okayama Castle- 1.jpg is: "MORNING AT OKAYAMA CASTLE", -1928 Later edition ORIGINAL. Image size 14.25" x 10" Condition "Pristine"-never laid down-full margins-no tears, no folds, no creases, no foxing, no stains-PERFECT! Good bleedthrough on verso. Complete with HASUI signature and Sui (see scan) and authenticated by Watanabe cartouche and seal. Master HASUI's captivating image in pastels is stunning in it's contrasts, and unique for it's pale beauty compared to other works. Viewing Okayama Castle through the mist over the river is almost ethereal in nature. Scan shows pink discoloration on margins..this DOES NOT appear on the actual print! This beautiful print is truly a delight! Our scan does not depict adequately the soft beauty of this print. |
