The title of the piece is “Candle Light”. The printed paper is encased in the original Japanese wood frame, with velvet mat. The image depicts a girl with eyes closed holding a lit candle with circular halo. On the back of the frame is written in pencil: No90-2xx (last two characters illegiblemay be Japanese). Which may have been written by the artist’s hand. I’m not sure. The artist’s stamp is on the lower left corner of the image. Approximate size of the frame is: 10″ tall, and 7 5/8″ wide. The paper size is 6 1/2″ x 4 1/4″. This is a finely rendered modern illustration by a true master artist. That is in good vintage condition overall. The item “Vintage KAORU KAWANO Girl Candle Light.
