1841
unspecified
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Painting from Flowers and Grasses is a 1841 unspecified by Tsubaki Chinzan, a Nihonga work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a single plant with long, wavy green leaves and three pale flowers—two open, one budding. The background is a plain, light beige color, and the whole scene is framed by a thin gold border. The artist used soft brushstrokes to show the delicate petals and the way the leaves curve. The empty right panel suggests this might be part of a pair, though only one side is painted. The flowers look simple but carefully drawn, focusing on their natural shapes.
