Subject:Question about a chinese polychrome xylographic print
Posted By: Luciano Fri, Mar 30, 2018 IP: 193.204.90.105
Hello,
at first I have thought it was an ukiyo-e from Japan but now I suppose that the print you may see in the attached picture is a watercoloured xylographic work from China.
Please, do you think I am right and a does someone know the red mark?
Thanks a lot and best regards,
Luciano

This is a Japanese woodblock print. The seal reads 省亭　Shōtei or Seitei
Name of artist: Watanabe Shōtei (Seitei)　渡辺省亭
1851-1918, Nihonga painter, was good at stylish flower and bird painting incorporating western style expression.( For further info pls ref. Wikipedia)

With regards,
I.Nagy
