Vos in vrouwenkleding c. 1800s - 1810s

"Vos in vrouwenkleding" (Fox in Women's Clothing) is a Japanese painting from the early 19th century by artist Shibata Gito. Depicting a fox dressed in human attire, the artwork exemplifies the "yōkai" genre, which explores Japanese folklore and mythical creatures. The artist's minimalist brushwork and light washes on paper create a sense of movement and whimsy, inviting viewers to ponder the line between the natural and supernatural.
