OPEN FRIDAY AND SATURDAYS
This is a vintage Japanese Sumi-e painting, featuring two graceful hummingbirds in flight beneath blossoming branches. Executed with elegant brushwork and subtle watercolor detail, the piece embodies the traditional Sumi-e style with its delicate balance of form, movement, and space. The artist’s signature and seal mark are visible in the lower right corner, adding authenticity and value.
The painting is presented in a simple wooden frame that complements the natural aesthetic of the artwork. A handwritten note on the back indicates: “Japanese sumi painting by Sofia original brush, sumi ink year frame.” The piece measures approximately 10 inches tall by 8 inches wide including the frame, making it an ideal size for display on a wall or tabletop stand.
This artwork likely dates to the mid-20th century, reflecting both its traditional subject matter and the style of its frame. It carries both decorative and collectible value for those who appreciate Asian fine arts and Japanese brush painting traditions.
