(Pine trees on a hill) 1861

"Pine trees on a hill," a delicate ink drawing on paper by Kawamura Bunpō, features a single pine tree standing tall on a hillside. Created in 1861, the piece showcases the artist's subtle brushwork and mastery of the *sumi-e* style. The minimalist composition emphasizes the beauty of nature, with the pine tree's graceful branches and the soft details of the hill creating a serene atmosphere. The presence of a fence and the artist's signature in the lower right corner suggests a possible connection to a specific garden or landscape. This small-scale work is a captivating example of the refined aesthetics of Japanese ink painting.
