Fagot–gatherer Finds Boy with Sparrow

Okumura Masanobu

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white drawing on aged paper. A man bends over in the lower left corner with a basket over his shoulder. He is standing in front of a small tree with bushy leaves. A circular wooden bucket sits in front of him. In the upper right corner, another man flies through the air. On the right side, two adults and a child are clustered together. A tree branch stretches across the top from left to right. A long rectangle of Japanese writing is on the upper right side. A large hill with wavy lines leading up to it takes up much of the center.
