歌川広重画 楓に孔雀|A Peacock Perched on a Maple Tree is a 1833 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting peacock, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
A peacock sits on a bare branch, its feathers bright blue, green, and gold. Red and green maple leaves fall around it. The bird’s tail fans out in bold, round patterns. The background is simple—just a pale sky and a few more leaves. The artist used bold colors and clean lines to make the bird stand out. The print looks flat, like a picture cut from paper.
