Oriental Studies 1
This is the first print in the set of 4, measuring 33"Lx23.5"W. Based on paperwork with the 4 pieces it appears to be by the artist is Michael James Riddet. All are very beautiful pictures of different colorful birds in an Asian nature scene. There is print under the picture showing "oriental Studies 1 through 4.
My father acquired the set of 4 sometime in the 1990s.

These are vintage 20th century prints that were sold through magazine advertising as decorative wall art pieces in a series of 4 entitled Oriental Studies. The framed prints are photo images of original paintings from China that were painted on thin shaved cork. Without an image of the accompanying paperwork, it would seem unlikely for these work to be by American Audubon style artist, Michael James Riddet (b. 1947). The estimate is for one framed print measuring 33" x 23.5" and is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail 'asking prices' can be higher and vary.
