Signed and sealed by the artist. Excellent brush work. Two light stains in the middle of the painting. Mounting silk is in fair condition. Some minor creases.
Wooden rod ends.
The body is raised from several sheets of copper brazed together with brass, the seams with tenons. The Monk s Hat top is reinforced with square section brass. Although this has been recently polished the inside shows good age, at least 19th century, maybe earlier. Minor dents from years of use. Leans slightly in a charming fashion.
