Crow on a Rock

Sesson Shūkei

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A large bird with black and white feathers stands on a branch. The bird's head is turned to the left. The branch it stands on runs diagonally across the bottom right of the image. A few pieces of debris and a few more thin branches are on the right. The background is sepia-toned paper with a blue and gold patterned border on the left and right sides.
