NICE OIL PAINTING BY I THINK A DUTCH OR BELGIUM ARTIST. SIGNATURE HARD TO INTEREPET BUT VERY VISIBLE TO THE KNOWING EYE. ABOUT MID FORTIES IN AGE AND HAS A WOOD AND FIBRECLOTH FRAME IN GOOD SHAPE. PAINTING IS A LITTLE DIRTY AND WOULD CLEAN UP NICELY BUT I HAVE NOT DONE SO. FRAME IS 25X35 INCHES AND PICTURE ITSELF IS 19X26 INCHES.
This inro depicts a falcon or sparrowhawk on one side, and has clouds and a small crane on the other. It has a red ojibe and an ivory bamboo-shoot netsuke attached on its cord.
