Dedicated on the back As a souvenir for Madame Bonny I offer it to you. April 5, 1934 Paris Miyamoto Kohei This is probably a dedication accompanied by the date, the place (Paris) and the name of the author or donor (Miyamoto Kohei). 宮本恒平 Miyamoto Kohei (宮本恒平) was a Japanese artist known for his work combining traditional Japanese and Western artistic techniques, particularly during the Shōwa era (1926–1989). He specialized in portraits and landscapes, mixing elements of Japanese art with influences from Western painting. Key points about him: • He was active in the early and mid-20th century. • Like many Japanese artists of his time, he probably studied or worked abroad, especially in Europe, which could explain the mention of Paris in the dedication. At that time, Paris was a major artistic center attracting artists from all over the world. • His style probably incorporates elements of realism, with careful attention to detail and soft lines, characteristic of Japanese masters. Considering the dedication on your image, it is likely that this work by Miyamoto Kohei was given as a gift during his stay in Paris or as part of exchanges with foreign collectors. Painted and patinated carved wooden frame in the Montparnasse style of the period. Good condition.
