Type of painting: Other Format: Framed Theme: Animals Main medium: Pastel This super beautiful artwork by the Western painter Yoshiko Maeda, titled 'Towards the Future with the Cat', is a brand new, unused piece in 2L size, created using pastel ink. The artist's original signature is included. This is a genuine piece, not a copy. There are no noticeable scratches or dirt; it is a very clean work of art in pastel ink. I purchased this piece directly from the artist, Yoshiko Maeda, a long time ago, and have kept it carefully, avoiding direct sunlight and storing it in a dark place without displaying it. Due to certain circumstances, I am reluctantly putting it up for auction on Yahoo. The size is slightly larger than a postcard and measures 2L. Yoshiko Maeda is highly regarded, especially abroad in Thailand and Europe, and is truly a famous artist. Having received this piece directly from Ms. Maeda, it was one of my favorites. However, I would like to pass it on to someone who can really take good care of it and appreciate its value. I look forward to your consideration. If you have any questions or inquiries, please feel free to ask. I sincerely await your bids. [From Yoshiko Maeda's blog] 'Recommended by Galleries and Collectors' I received the 'Contemporary Popular Art Yearbook' in late February 2022, which I would be happy for you to see at all art museums, galleries, and libraries across Japan. It can also be seen at embassies and famous galleries worldwide. *Duplicating or unauthorized reproduction of this artwork is strictly prohibited under copyright law.
