The painting is signed by the artist in the upper-left corner and comes beautifully housed in its original, high-quality multi-tiered stepped wood frame complete with a classic fabric linen liner, perfectly complementing the gallery-ready presentation.About the Artist:Born in Seoul, South Korea, Myung "Mario" Jung won the prestigious Grand Prize for Western-style painting in 1986.
