Suzuki NANREI (1775-1844): Bird Sitting on a Branch

Description

Artist: Suzuki NANREI (1775-1844)

Title:Bird Sitting on a Branch

Series: A 'fumpon' (large preparatory drawing for a painting, most likely for a 'kakemono').

Date:Early 19th century.

Medium:Sumi (black ink) and color on thin, transparent paper.

Size/Format:kakemono (28" x 11")

Description:NANREI was THE Shijô-style artist par excellence, but mastered a number of other painting styles, as well, particularly that of the Maruyama school he had studied early in his career, and of which this watercolor drawing is a fine example. Extant kakemono from his hand, - and more so, preparatory paintings (fumpon) of such works as this -, are EXTREMELY RARE.- Signed: Nanrei, with the artist's seal (placed on verso, upside down, see detail picture).
