Reeds and Geese 1343

"Reeds and Geese" is a hanging scroll painted in 1343 by Tesshū Tokusai, a Japanese artist whose life was tragically short, spanning only from 1342 to 1366. This monochrome ink painting depicts a flock of geese in flight against a light brown background, with reeds depicted in the foreground. The delicate brushstrokes and subtle details of the work are characteristic of the artist's style. This artwork is currently held in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
