Instructions from the Expert:

PLEASE I CANNOT ANSWER QUESTIONS REGARDING WESTERN OR EUROPEAN PRINTS OR PAINTINGS. I am somewhat knowledgeable of Japanese and Chinese art as well, but this is not my area of expertise. If you need help identifying a painting YOU WILL NEED TO UPLOAD AN IMAGE. It is impossible for me to tell you whether the painting is authentic (I probably won't be able to tell you this by looking at a picture), what the subject matter is, who painted it, etc., without at least looking at an image. A description of your art work, however detailed, is not the same as looking at the image.
