Description
A two-panel screen; Dragon: ink, color on silk; Tiger: ink on silk. Both artists were known for their Nanga style, a school of Japanese painting which flourished in the late Edo period, sharing an admiration for traditional Chinese culture. Thus both paintings exhibit a shared stylistic influence from the Chinese Ming and Song dynasties.
