Takeuchi & Co. (active Boston, 19th century)
Cherry Tress on a River Bank, 1905
Two fold table screen: ink on paper with wood frame, 36.5 x 38.7 cm (14 3/8 x 15 1/4 in.)
This two-fold table screen executed in watercolor and ink on paper has a wood frame. This screen depicts a calm water scene with two boats in the foreground; one on the section to our left and the other to our right. The boat to our right appears to be a houseboat. A section of land with a tree-lined road extends from our right across the middle of the scene. Another portion of land is visible in the distant horizon. The left panel has a brown background with a black frame. The panel to our right has a pale tan background. There is extensive damage on both panels.
