This Japanese artwork by Shibata Zeshin, a renowned artist of the Edo Period (1603-1868), depicts a pheasant and three figures with umbrellas. Zeshin was well-known for his masterful bird and animal paintings, often incorporating elements of nature and human figures in a harmonious way. This simple yet elegant composition showcases Zeshin's artistic skill and attention to detail, portraying the natural world with a poetic and evocative style. The artist's signature, a stylized seal, is visible in the top right corner.
