kakemono watanabe seitei deux herons dans un pin

Great Japanese Painting Meiji style.

Watanabe Shōtei aka Watanabe Seitei (1851 in Edo – 1918) was a Nihonga painter and one of the first to visit Europe, attending the 1878 International Exhibition in Paris and being awarded a medal. Shōtei blended Western realism with the delicate colours and washes of the Maruyama-Shijō school, introducing a new approach to kachōga or kacho (bird-and-flower painting).

Here is one of his works on a Kakemono, a tradtional format.
