Fine Original Watercolor by Fukutaro Terauchi
This atmospheric landscape by Fukutaro Terauchi depicts a snowy evening scene with two kimonoed figures passing under a Torii, or traditional gate to a Shinto shrine, and possibly approaching a temple. The whole scene is lit by reflective light from the snow. Measures 8.25 inches x 11.875 inches sheet size. Signed lower left. We have tested this painting and we warrant that it is an original watercolor, and that it is by Fukutaro Terauchi. Condition: excellent with either very even light yellow toning top quadrant and lower left corner, or an intentional colored “wash“ by the artist. We believe it is the latter, because the artist used a similar ochre color for grasses showing through the snow in the foreground. |
