Bateaux anciens vintage 2024 signés T. Kenyu aquarelle mont Fuji reflet

This is an antique or vintage signed watercolor of Mount Fuji and its reflection in the water.

Based on the frame, I would estimate it dates circa 1920s or 1930s.

The overall frame measures 10 1/4 inches high x 17 1/4 inches wide (26 cm x 43.8 cm). The watercolor itself measures 3 3/8 inches high x 10 3/4 inches wide (8.6 cm x 27.3 cm).

The watercolor looks like it is glued to a piece of linen fabric.

There are some light scattered blemishes to the artwork, most notably in the top left corner.

The linen background is in very good condition. The frame has some light scattered wear to the surface, such as in the top left corner.

The glass has three noticeable scratches on it. There is a thin long one in the bottom left area and two others along the right side towards the bottom. For some reason, there are numerous small dots on the entire piece of glass underneath. You only see these when light is reflecting on it, so I took some photographs that way. I have a feeling this is on the glass only and if you were to take it apart, you could clean it. I can't be exactly sure though.

On the back, it looks like someone used an old print and its attached piece of cardboard as the backing for this artwork. It's a little odd I must say.

It weighs 1 pound 8 1/2 ounces (696 g).
