聚珍画帖 3巻 [3]

狩野探幽画, 石川大浪摸写 · 1802 · 42 pictures

A Japanese ehon picture album in three volumes, published in 1802, with designs by the Kano school painter Kano Tanyu and copied by Ishikawa Taimi for an audience of painters and craftsmen. The pages show ink-and-wash bird and plant studies, a crane over reeds, and a dense scene of figures and flames; a designer might draw on their economical brushwork, open negative space and seal placement.
