Description from the Art Institute of Chicago.
Baiitsu Yamamoto painted this in 1847, aged 64. It is now at the Art Institute of Chicago.
How it was made
- Hanging scroll
- A painting mounted on silk with a wooden roller at the foot. It was rolled up for storage and brought out to hang for a season, a guest or an occasion.
- Ink on paper
- Ink made from soot and animal glue, ground with water on an inkstone. A single brush can give a hair-fine line or a broad wash, and nothing can be corrected.
Baiitsu Yamamoto
Japanese, 1783–1856
