Herons in the Snow

A large scroll painting with a beige background and a white and gold decorative border on both sides. The painting depicts four white herons standing on a snow-covered tree branch over water. The herons are white with long necks and legs. The tree branch is curved, with sparse bare branches extending upwards. The water below is grey and reflects the herons. The border around the painting is white with a gold floral design. The painting includes some black Japanese calligraphy and a small red seal. The herons are by Nakabayashi Chikutō.
