Egret in Iris and Grasses by Utagawa Hiroshige: A white egret stands in shallow water with its wings spread; it faces right with its beak open. The background features tall grasses and purple iris flowers. The water appears blue with darker shading at the bottom. A red seal with Japanese characters is in the bottom-left corner, with additional Japanese text and characters above the bird. The image has a blue-grey background that fades to dark at the top.
