## Description
This is a rare, one-of-a-kind oil painting titled "Portrait of a Woman" by the late master of Western-style painting, Seiichi Togo. The artwork depicts a woman (nude) with a hint of melancholy, reflective of the artist's sensitive touch. It was created in 1937 using oil paint meticulously applied to canvas, signed and dated in the lower right corner.

The artwork comes in a stainless steel frame (with transparent acrylic glass), which shows slight wear in several places but allows for immediate display. It includes a protective case with a yellow bag and fabric lining. An authentication certificate from the official Togo Seiichi Authentication Committee is included, certifying that this is an original one-of-a-kind piece by the artist.
