Hotei is a 1404 unspecified by Tokuchū, a Renaissance work, depicting Muromachi Period, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting depicts a figure with a round belly, wearing a robe and holding a staff in their right hand. The figure's left hand is raised to their cheek, and they appear to be smiling. A small bird is perched on the figure's shoulder. The background of the painting is a light brown color. The figure is rendered in a simple, yet expressive style, with bold brushstrokes and minimal detail. The overall effect is one of warmth and approachability. The artist's use of bold lines and simple shapes creates a sense of energy and movement, drawing the viewer's eye to the figure's face and hands. Look up the artist Tokuchū (Japanese, late 1400s) next.
