Vintage Original Oil

Very nice vintage original oil on board painting of a lake scene, possibly by a Japanese artist. Signed in the lower left corner of the painting, but signature isn’t legible. There is a stamp in Japanese on the back of the board. Painting measures approximately 6 1/8” x 8 7/8”. Painted wood frame measures approximately 11 3/4” x 14 1/2”. Age of the painting is unknown, but it appears to be vintage. Estate sale find. Painting appears to be in good to very good used condition with signs of wear and age, such as spots, stray marks, scratches, scrapes, abrasions, nicks, some chips and/or loss of paint, wear along the edges and corners, and several small surface tears, foxing, discoloration, stray marks, and
stains on the back of the board. There are small holes centered on each side of the painting. Frame appears to be in good used condition with signs of wear and age, such as scratches, scrapes, abrasions, nicks, chips, indentations, spots, stains, stray marks, discoloration, some chips and/or loss of the painted finish, some cracking, and some separation of the mitered corners of the frame. The painting may be a bit loose in the frame since I removed it to examine the signature (the frame partially covered the signature). The nails holding the painting in the frame are rusty and the frame may be a bit dusty as well.
