| The following information was taken from the original web listing of this artwork. Note that there may be some inaccuracies:
This is a numbered limited edition 1/50 print by Kaoru Kawano called Doves + Girl. It is hand signed by Kawano on the black on the bottom in pencil. Please supersize to better see the signature in the pictures. It also has his red stamp over the signature. Under the picture in pencil is written 1/50 Doves + Girl Kaoru Kawano. This piece measures 18" x 24 3/4". It has never been displayed and is unframed. This is an original…not a reprint. The last picture is of the back of the picture so you can see that the color bled through to the back.
