Subject:Japanese watercolour scroll painting help please
Posted By: Larry Tue, Apr 23, 2019 IP: 104.142.126.185

Hello, If possible, I would like help to identify the artist who painted this young lady.
The scroll is ivory mounted and has a red seal at the edge of the mount, perhaps the maker of the mount?
In the third picture I have tried to show the box titles, the artist signature and the seal on the mount. Hope the images are clear enough. Thanks in advance for any assistance.
