Keiko Minami Signed Etching, Two Birds with Ferns, Numbered 63/90

Annihilate the landfill, adopt a quiet masterpiece from a Paris-based Japanese printmaker

This is the real deal: a pencil-signed etching by Keiko Minami (1911-2004), the Tokyo-born, Paris-based artist whose dreamlike nature scenes landed in MoMA's permanent collection. Two stylized birds stroll through delicately rendered ferns and cypresses in her signature muted palette. Numbered 63/90 in pencil. The print itself is clean; the vintage frame shows honest age—gilt wear, minor losses at corners, and some foxing/toning to the linen mat. A conservator's reframe would make this gallery-ready.

The D'Beetle Difference • Museum-Collected Artist: Keiko Minami's etchings are held by MoMA, the Brooklyn Museum, and major Japanese institutions. Her work regularly sells at auction for $300-800+.

• Original Signed & Numbered: Pencil-signed 'Keiko Minami' lower right, numbered 63/90 lower left. Aquatint etching on paper with characteristic soft color work.

• Vintage Gallery Frame: Measures approximately 21" x 19" framed. Deep green painted wood with gilt inner lip, linen mat—likely original 1960s-70s presentation.
