1687
unspecified
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Pheasant is a 1687 unspecified by Ogata Kōrin, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a single pheasant standing on a rocky ledge. Its feathers are black, white, and gold, with a bright red face and a long, curved beak. The bird faces left, and its tail feathers fan out behind it. Around it, there are blue flowers and green leaves on the rocks. The artist painted the pheasant with sharp, bold colors and simple shapes. The background is mostly plain, making the bird stand out clearly. Look up Ogata Kōrin next to see more of his work.
Ogata Kōrin (Japanese: 尾形光琳; 1658 – June 2, 1716) was a Japanese landscape illustrator, lacquerer, painter, and textile designer of the Rinpa School.
