The Four Accomplishments

Kano Shōei

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Four Accomplishments by Kano Shōei: A large, old, folded painting with six panels bordered in gold and black. The painting features a group of people in traditional Japanese clothing. Three people sit beneath a large tree on the right. One person sits on the ground on the left. The background shows mountains and a cloudy sky. The painting's color palette is muted, with shades of beige, gray, orange, and white. The tree has a thick trunk and branches that stretch across the top right. Rocks and grass are visible in the foreground. The painting appears to be on aged paper. The gold border has a worn, uneven edge.
