Description

Magnificent oversized portrait of the empress in her crown

Empress of Japan (1903–2000) married to Hirohito. Extraordinary matte-finish 8 x 11 portrait of the young empress in a regal three-quarter-length pose, affixed to its original 13.5 x 17.5 mount, boldly signed in the lower right in black ink in Japanese. In fine condition, with a thin diagonal mark to the lower left corner and mild foxing and staining to the mount. It is an absolutely stunning image with deep, rich tones and exceptional clarity. Empress Kojun items are quite scarce, and this is the first time we have offered her by herself. RR Auction COA.
