Tethered Hawks

After Soga Chokuan Japanese

Not on view

Soga Chokuan became famous for his meticulously brushed paintings of hawks and eagles, often shown tethered to their roosts, as here. While this painting closely resembles the compositions of the Momoyama master of avian depictions, close examination of the brushwork suggests that is a much later copy.
