Subject:Drawing 1841 date Japanese?
Posted By: John Thu, Oct 05, 2017 IP: 94.197.120.4 Hi everyone, I purchased this drawing (I think it is a drawing!) it is in an old frame and the back shows age. There is also a date written thinly 1841 or something similar I think in the drawing. I purchased it from an auction it wasn't noticed by anyone under a bunch of other photos so I purchased it. Can anyone tell me anything at all about it. Your expertise here is much appriecated. Thank you. |

Posted By: Stan Sun, Oct 08, 2017 It looks like a Japanese woodblock print. Given the style, my guess it is from the 1700s. Given that is framed and, likely, has been displayed, I would expect more degradation and, thus, suspect it is not an original but a later copy. |
