This 1993 original oil on board, titled 「ばら」 (Roses), is a work by the Japanese artist Takahashi Haruo (高橋 玄雄, b. 1927).
The artist was a professional member of the prestigious Issui-kai (一水会) art society and a frequent exhibitor at the Nitten (Japan Fine Arts Exhibition). This specific piece was curated and sold through Gallery Wori Chon (located within the Meitetsu department store network in Nagoya, Japan), as evidenced by the original green-patterned inventory tags and gallery documentation found within the frame.
The work is executed in the Yōga (Western-style) tradition with heavy impasto texture and is signed and dated by the artist in the lower right. Included with the painting is the original artist curriculum vitae and the gallery's inventory slip (Stock No. 32616-01-00).
