Do we find treasure or does treasure find us?




I seem to be on an asian art cycle these days. First a book, then a bowl and now this possible Japanese print on silk in original frame with an old Boston Art Gallery Stamp — Doll & Richards Incorporated, 138 Newbury Street, Boston. Two sides of the brown paper backing are still attached. The landscape measures apx 9.5 by 10.5 not including the mat or frame. First, I have to gather my courage to pull some nails and see if the painting is actually on silk. (Its probably a paper place man.) Then I should see if I can discover the name of the artist (impossible). I’ll keep you posted on my research. Later the same day: Research continues to point to a print on silk.
