Subject:Japanese Madonna & Child Painting help with info and artist ID
Posted By: Laura Tue, Nov 14, 2017 IP: 72.211.67.22

I think this is an original mid-20th century Japanese Madonna and Child painting. Any information or comments would be welcome! I'd like to know who the artist is as well or get any clues. Was this one done by Carmelite nuns? The painting was framed in Washington DC at Mickelson's on G street...a store that counted some presidents as clients. Thanks.

The signature reads,
清山   Seizan
I can`t decipher the seal yet.
Probably Kokufu Seizan (国府青山)1893-1914
I cuould not find another painter with name Seizan.

With regards,
I.Nagy

Thanks so much I. Nagy. Any suggestions about where I could find out more about Kokufu Seizan? So it's probably not a Carmelite painting? And possibly earlier 20th century. Wondering if there is anything stylistically about the painting that could firmly place its date.
