Egrets at the Water's Edge

A painting of "Egrets at the Water's Edge" by Watanabe Seitei depicts two white egrets standing on a dark rock or land mass that extends out of the water. The birds have long yellow bills and legs. One egret is standing behind the other, facing the same direction. The background features a gray sky with darker gray brushstrokes resembling foliage or grasses. The water appears calm and gray, with some darker patches suggesting reflections or ripples. A small red seal and some black Japanese characters are in the bottom-left corner. The painting is surrounded by a thin brown border.
