A Korean Folk Art painting of two cranes under a pine tree. The crane is the emblem of long life which is a common theme in Minhwa. The cranes have been painted on mulberry paper using natural pigments mixed in a glue base. The painting is not signed, and thus was done by an unknown artist, probably at a fair, market, or home for a small fee. The painting with frame measures about 33" tall x 18 1/2" wide. It was remounted and framed some time around 1960, and a sticker was applied by Eddy Chang, who was in business at that time in Seoul. The condition of the painting is good as can be seen on the photos. These are some pencil scribbles of a child that cannot be removed. The asking price includes shipping within the USA.
