Thank you again for your knowledgeable and generous support, Dear Nagy. Best regards,

Correction,
44 x 32,1 cm is correct
I.Nagy

Dear Nagy, thank you very much for your clarification. Although I don't know what the number 7 and the measurements might refer to. Not the silk painting. Perhaps the original drawing from which the image in the 1816 printed book (ehon) Mountains of the Heart (Kyōchūzan) was taken? Best regards,
Andrea

The size of painting No. 7 is indicated on the label, which I simply translated. I only wrote the dimensions in brackets for the sake of clarity.
It is likely that Bosai painted several versions of the same painting.

Regards,
I.Nagy

Dear Nagy, thank you again for your time. Kind regards,
Andrea
