Title: Antique painting,, ink art ??
Post by: icedgold10 on September 26, 2015, 08:17:04 PM: I just purchase this antique Asian art piece. Is it a painting or ink art? It was from Abraham & Strauss Brooklyn. I know they used that name between 1846 & 1929. They also did sell some real art. Is it Chinese or Japanese? Any information would be helpful. Thank you
