Wild Geese is a 1504 unspecified by Chōkichi, a Ming Painting work, depicting Muromachi Period, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows three wild geese standing in tall grass near a body of water. The birds are drawn with simple, bold lines and filled in with soft browns and whites. The background is mostly empty, with just a few reeds and a faint horizon line. The geese look alert, almost like they’re calling to each other. The artist kept the colors muted, focusing on the shapes and movement of the birds. Next, look up muromachi period to see how this style fits into Japanese art history.
