Thank you for your interest.
Frame size: Size 8 (45.5 x 38 cm)
Artwork size: 20.5 x 16 cm
I fell in love with this piece and purchased it over 20 years ago because it resembled my own cat.
I believe it is a lithograph.
There is a signature by Kazuyo and a serial number in the margin.
The frame is made of wood.
Due to age, the tape that was holding the paper inside had peeled off, causing the artwork to shift. I have reattached it with clear masking tape.
