This is a very old Chinese hanging scroll painting, ink on paper canvas, unsigned, depicting a black crow perched on a single, budding branch in late winter. Many years ago, this painting was removed from its old Chinese mounting, conserved by a Japanese expert in the restoration of hanging scrolls, then remounted in Japan sometime between the early and mid-20th century. It looks very beautiful! Silk brocade mounts.

Provenance: From an old, New York Estate collection gathered in Japan in the 1960s. Previous to that, in an old Japanese collection gathered prior to WW II.

Size: Approximate size of painting: 22.5 in. H x 9.5 in. W
Approximate size of the mounting: 46 in. H x 18.5 in. W
