Reverberations of Taiga, Volume 1 (leaf 25) is a 1704 by Aoki Shukuya, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows rocks, trees, and mountains in a simple style. It was made by Aoki Shukuya, a Japanese artist. The artist was a pupil of Ikeno Taiga, which explains the similar style, and traditionally, young painters in Japan copied their master's work to learn techniques. The pupil's work often reflected their master's style, and that's the case here. Shukuya's sketches are similar to Taiga's, which is how they learned. You can learn more about this style by looking at the work of Ikeno Taiga.
Traditionally, young painters in Japan began their studies with an established master-painter. The master's compositions invariably became models that the apprentice copied to learn various ink and brush techniques. Shukuya was a pupil of the famous Kyoto artist Ikeno Taiga, whose style is reflected in these sketches of rocks, trees, and mountains.
