Wagtails and Narcissus

Eison

Cleveland Museum of Art

The painting depicts a scene with a brown background. Two birds are shown in profile, facing left; both have white bodies with black tails. The bird in front has a black mark on its neck; both have long tails. Black dots are scattered on and around the birds. The birds appear to be standing on a rock; a circular line suggests water. In the background, a plant with long, thin leaves and white flowers is visible. A border at the top and bottom features a repeating gold pattern on a brown background. A red seal or stamp is located near the bottom right corner.
