歌川広重画 扶養に高麗鶯|A Black-Naped Oriole on a Stem of Rose Mallow is a 1834 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting Bird, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a bright yellow bird perched on a thin green stalk. Below it, a big pink flower with white petals and dark green leaves grows. The sky behind is a soft blue, with a few wispy clouds. The bird’s beak is open, like it’s about to sing. The artist wrote some Japanese characters near the top, maybe a poem or title. Look up Utagawa Hiroshige next to see more prints like this.
Utagawa Hiroshige (歌川 広重) or Andō Hiroshige (安藤 広重), born Andō Tokutarō (安藤 徳太郎; 1797 – 12 October 1858), was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist, considered the last great master of that tradition.
