Reeds and Geese

Yishan Yining [Issan Ichinei]

Cleveland Museum of Art

A vertical, monochromatic painting on aged paper depicts two geese in flight near a body of water, positioned bottom-left. The geese are rendered in shades of gray and black. A large, bare tree branch arcs over the geese. The background is a mottled brown. A column of vertical, Asian-style calligraphy appears on the right. A thin, ornate gold border runs along the left and right edges. A thin, brown border appears along the top. A small red seal appears between the calligraphy and geese. Small, rocky outcroppings are on the shore.
