Garden Scene

In the Style of Shibata Zeshin Japanese

Not on view

This painting's design is taken from Zeshin's print series Hana kurabe. The sewing box and thread clippers at the top imply that the butterfly-like toys have just been made. The pink Chinese milk-vetch flowers convey the spring atmosphere familiar to everyday life.
