Circle of Nagasawa Rosetsu, “Standing Crane”

Circle of Nagasawa Rosetsu (also known as Gyo, Masakatsunoinn, Chougyo and Hyokei) (1754–1799)—note that although the inscription shows (in translation) the name “Rosetsu” and the seal has the name, “Gyo”, I propose that this painting is in the manner of Nagasawa Rosetsu rather than being by the artist’s hand, following the strong tradition in Japan of working within the style of great masters.

“Standing Crane”, date of execution is unknown apart from clear evidence of the patina of age that this is an antique painting. Note that there is minor surface wear to the image and the mount has perforations and marks.

Ink on paper, mounted as a scroll with bone roller ends.

Size: (scroll) 60 x 208 cm (scroll); (image) 116 x 46 cm.

I am selling this bold and confident ink painting of a crane—note the loose calligraphic freedom of the brushwork that (to my mind) is in keeping with the rebellious spirit of the artist for which he is famous—for AU$700 in total including a wood storage box (currently US$484.41/EUR434.61/GBP361.99 at the time of posting this print) including Express Mail (EMS) postage and handling to anywhere in the world, but not (of course) any import duties/taxes imposed by some countries. Note that payment is in Australian dollars (AU$700) as this is my currency.

If you are interested in purchasing this large scroll painting signed and with the seal of Nagasawa Rosetsu—mindful that I am not proposing that the painting is by this famous artist but rather from hand of a follower—please contact me (oz_jim@printsandprinciples.com) and I will send you a PayPal invoice to make the payment easy.
