This is one of two Japanese Reverse Paintings I have up for auction right now. They are a pair painted in the mid to late 40's. The backgrounds (a green hue) and frames and sizes (20 x 13), are the same. It is a very nice original hand painted picture of two coy. They appear festive and lively. The color of the water is soothing and calm-a beautiful minty or sage green. The painting itself was done masterfully. It is a gorgeous painting. The frame itself is also a nice work of art-the wood used has a dense grain and thus a nice deep rich color and shiny finish. The rounded corners are also beautifully executed and are on their own very collectible. The back is strong sturdy wood. It is a very nice high quality item. I charge what the post office charges me. Usually I ship Priory Mail, the day after the auction has ended, or sometimes the day after that.
