楳嶺花鳥画譜 甘藍・鵲(収載資料名:あづまにしきゑ)

楳嶺 · 1883 · 1 picture

A Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) by the painter Baiyō (Baiei) published in 1883, drawn from a flower-and-bird album for artists and collectors. The print shows two magpies beside a cabbage plant, narcissus in a woven basket and a blue bowl. Its clean outlines, flat colour fields and asymmetrical placement of plant and birds offer a designer a model of economical, balanced composition.
