This small-scale painting by the renowned Japanese artist Shibata Zeshin, dating to 1882, depicts a snow shelter for a tree with a sparrow in the foreground. Zeshin's artistry, exemplified by his use of lacquer, evokes the delicate details of nature, such as the thatched shelter and the sparrow perched by a small pool. This work, part of a series depicting various subjects, showcases Zeshin's mastery of the Rinpa style, known for its intricate details and vivid colors. The painting is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City.
