About this work

This painting shows a few big, light-colored flowers with lots of petals and some darker spots. They're on long stems with leaves. The flowers and stems are painted in a loose style, with visible brush strokes. The background is a light color. In the top-right corner, there's some writing in a language I don't recognize. It looks like it might be the artist's signature or a message. If you like this kind of painting, you might want to check out more works by the artist, Itō Jakuchū.
