Herons in the Snow, Edo period (1615–1868), ca. 1840, Japan, Hanging scroll; ink on paper, 51 3/4 x 23 11/16 in. (131.5 x 60.2 cm), Paintings, Nakabayashi Chikutō (Japanese, 1776–1853), The characteristic decorative quality of Chikutō's painting is amply evident here in the rhythmic arrangement of the herons, boldly framed by their snowy perch. The stark black-and-white contrasts and the repetitive patterns of horizontal washes that define the white forms of the birds and branches further contribute to an effect of graphic elegance
