松・滝に孔雀図と緋毛氈|Painting of Peacocks, Pines, a Waterfall, and a Roll of Red Fabric is a 1818 ink by Totoya Hokkei, a Romanticism work, depicting Peacock, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows two peacocks with bright green and gold feathers, standing near a waterfall. The birds face opposite directions, their long tails fanned out behind them. A pine tree with dark branches and red fabric sit in the background, while Japanese text wraps around the edges. The artist used fine lines to create shading, especially on the peacock’s feathers. This makes the colors pop and gives the birds a sense of depth. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
