Birds and Pine Tree 1590

"Birds and Pine Tree" is a fan painting by Kanō Eitoku, a renowned Japanese artist, created in 1590. The artwork depicts a pair of birds perched on a branch in a lush pine forest. Eitoku's signature style of bold brushstrokes and rich ink washes is evident in the painting, emphasizing the dynamic movement of the birds and the textures of the leaves and branches. This piece, now housed at the Indianapolis Museum of Art, is a testament to Eitoku's mastery of ink painting and his ability to capture the beauty of nature.
