Nagasawa Rosetsu

Cleveland Museum of Art

A vertical rectangular piece of aged paper with darker edges and lighter center. In the top left, a column of 9 vertical black characters are written, and below them a red square seal with a character inside. In the bottom right, a diagonal branch with leaves extends from the bottom right corner. On the branch are chrysanthemums. A bird perches on a long thin branch extending to the right. Below the branch, two puppies sit on a ledge; the puppy on the left looks forward and the puppy on the right looks to the right. The puppies have white chests and faces with dark ears. To the left of the puppies and branch is a circular object with shading around it.
