Abel Guérineau (1841-1925) Princely residence Ink and watercolor on paper depicting the traditional Japanese gate of an important estate, composed of a central body framed by two symmetrical lateral structures. The main roof is wide, double-pitched and covered with terracotta tiles, with carved details at the ends. The two side wings feature curved gables typical of the karahafu style.

On the passe-partout, the ink inscription "Entrance of a yashiki in Tokio (princely residence)". Sight size: 27 x 47.2 cm Creases, foxing, stains. Framed under glass.
