Nummer vier: Meisje schrijft gedicht c. 1825

"Nummer vier: Meisje schrijft gedicht," created around 1825 by the Japanese artist Yashima Gakutei (1786-1868), depicts a young woman seated on a floor covered in cherry blossom petals, composing a poem. She holds a brush and inkstone, while a poem written in Japanese script appears on the wall behind her. The artist's signature, "岳亭" is located in the lower right corner, while the title of the piece, "花足の四," is written in the top left corner. This piece captures a quiet moment of artistic creation, showcasing the cultural significance of poetry in Japanese society.
