Subject:Asian watercolor with calligraphy and seals
Posted By: Wayne Fri, Sep 23, 2022 IP: 2606:54c0:76e0:d28::
Any info would be appreciated. Country of origin, translation of calligraphy and meaning of the seals. Is this a more modern painting? It is about 3 feet by 3 feet, on thin, soft and pulpy-feeling laid paper. OKAY, thanks for taking a look and anything you can tell me about it. Wayne
