This is a rather large and very dynamic watercolor of 3 people in a boat leaving shore through a rough surf. Though it was probably fairly routine, what a way to start a long day/night fishing. The watercolour is signed "Terauchi" at the bottom right corner. This large piece measssures 24 7/8" by 17 3/4" and, though it's condition could be better, it would command attention in any room. When we acquired this piece it was framed and up to 1 1/8" had been folded under along the right edge to accomodate it's matting. The bottom left corner has a triangular fold and, near that, there is a light 2" scratch. To be honest, I find that the picture is so demanding of attention that I had forgotten about those 'problems' with it until I started describing it here. I would think that the piece had once been stored rolled as it has about 8 light bends along it's width. The back is moderately, but evenly, toned from previously being batted without acid-free materials. We can only think of about 3 or 4 watercolors by Terauchi that show such a focused ocean scene and no others as large or with as such action ...... $350.00
