Chrysanthemums and Magpies is a 1896 unspecified by Xugu, a Nihonga work, held at Art Institute of Chicago.
This painting shows a branch with leaves and flowers, and three birds perched on it. The flowers are yellow and the birds are mostly black and white. There are some Chinese characters written vertically on the right side of the painting. The branch and flowers are painted in a delicate style, with thin lines and soft colors. The birds are more detailed, with feathers and beaks visible. The background of the painting is a light color, which helps the branch and flowers stand out. This painting is reminiscent of the work of Chinese artists who specialized in painting flowers and birds.
