Title: A Compiled Painting Album of Different Artists, Circa 1920-1950, with 19 Pages of Ink Wash Paintings Including a Trio of Mountains and Soft Eyed Daruma, and 6 Pages of Fine Calligraphy
Author: Various
Condition: Very Good
A Taisho to Early Showa Period, 20th century painting album, being a compilation by at least nine artists and calligraphers, though they do not appear to be particularly well-known artists, since I can’t find too much background information on them. The paintings display different subjects, including landscapes, various objects, animals, figures, and more. Of note are a composition of a trio of mountains, and an oddly, dew-eyed Daruma.
The paintings have been finely bound in orihon album format, with decorated, dark green brocade fabric covers, with floral decorations and swirls.
One painting album in quarto (21.2 x 14.4 cm), 30 leaves
This manuscript is in very good shape, with minimal rubbing or wear to the binding. There is some foxing to the margins and corners.
