柴田是真筆 烏鷺図屏風|Egrets and Crows is a 1883 gold by Shibata Zeshin, a Impressionism work, depicting bird, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This painting depicts two scenes on separate panels, each featuring birds. The left panel shows two black crows in flight, while the right panel features two white egrets perched on a branch. The birds are rendered in bold, expressive lines, with the crows appearing more dynamic and the egrets more serene. The background of the painting is a warm, beige color, which provides a subtle contrast to the birds. The overall effect is one of simplicity and elegance, with the birds taking center stage.
