Wild Duck Kōan is a 1774 unspecified by Suiō Genro, a Rococo painting work, held at Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
This painting shows a monk, dressed in a long robe, holding a staff in his right hand. He is standing in front of a blank background. The monk's face is serene, and his eyes are cast downward. The monk's robe is long and flowing, with a subtle sheen to it. The staff he holds is slender and straight, with a small hook at the top. The background of the painting is a soft, creamy color, which provides a subtle contrast to the monk's dark robes. The painting is a beautiful example of traditional Japanese art.
