Vintage East Asian Landscape Ink and Wash Painting

This is a vintage framed East Asian landscape painting, likely Japanese or Chinese, executed in a traditional ink and wash style on paper or silk. The composition features rhythmic mountain peaks, a multi-tiered pagoda, pine trees, and a lone figure crossing a small bridge over a stream. The color palette is muted, dominated by earth tones, greys, and subtle washes of green and blue. A red seal or 'chop' mark is visible in the lower left corner, indicating the artist's signature or studio. The artwork is housed in a mid-20th-century frame featuring a double-mat style: a wide olive-green inner border and a textured, off-white outer frame with a thin gold-toned interior lip. In terms of condition, there is visible foxing and discoloration across the paper's surface, particularly near the top, which is common for antique works on paper. The frame shows some minor edge wear and dust accumulation. The craftsmanship displays classic atmospheric perspective and delicate brushwork characteristic of Showa-era or early modern orientalist décor, reflecting a mid-to-late 20th-century aesthetic intended for global export or high-end domestic use.
