| The following information was taken from the original web listing of this artwork. Note that there may be some inaccuracies:
This is a vintage drawing or painted of a Japanese Geisha Girl. It has part of my late Mother's estate. She was a huge fan of Asian art. The drawing is on a rice paper I believe. It is a sheer paper with a silver foil sheen. The drawing measures 9 3/8" x 14 3/8". This does not include the matting or wooden frame. I do not know the date or history of the item. It is signed. The glass in the frame is non glare and a bit small for the frame. I would ship WITHOUT the glass so as not to damage the drawing. So you would need to replace the glass upon arrival of the drawing. The wooden frame measures 14" x 19". |
