Subject:Kano Tan'yu signature & seal?
Posted By: YK Wed, Apr 06, 2016 IP: 24.23.146.26

Is it possible to tell from a photo if this is Kano Tan'yu painting? The seal seems to point to Kano Tan'yu but I am not sure about the signature. Thanks for you help.

Please compare the seal on your painting with the one of an original painting, recently sold by the auction house Zacke (left).
Notice the imporant differences in the execution of the characters in both seals. The seal in your painting should be identical with the original. Obviously, this is not the case.
Therefore, I'm afraid that your painting is a 19th century copy, honoring the old Kano master ('after Kano Tan'yu').

Guy.
