About this work

This print shows a bright rooster perched on a wooden fence. Its feathers are yellow and red, with blue-green wings. Behind it, pink flowers bloom on a vine, and a small branch with blue leaves curves above. The rooster’s bold colors stand out against the simple background. The fence looks like it’s made of thin sticks, and the flowers add a touch of softness. If you like this, check out Utagawa Hiroshige.
