You are bidding on an Old unframed watercolor signed “YAMANOI” or “YOMANOI”. I believe it to be either Japanese or Hawaiian and would welcome any information my fellow eBayer's have on the artist. It is signed on the lower right front corner and in Japanese on the back. It measures 12 7/8 inches x 19 ½ inches. It shows a man in a small boat fishing in a river or lake. There is a slight discoloration around the edge as the wood back (picture #6) was not sealed tight around the frame. Otherwise it is in great condition. |
