A dark green-black ink frog with a stern, furrowed brow sits with one webbed hind foot splayed wide and the other legs tucked under its body. It grips a slender stick-like object in one forefoot that dips toward a shallow bowl mottled with green flecks at its feet. The brushwork is loose and textured against plain cream paper. A square red seal with two characters sits at the upper right.
Matsumoto Hoji was a Japanese painter of the mid-Edo period who died in 1800 in Osaka; his birth year is not recorded. He studied landscape painting under Yosa Buson and was a close friend of Itō Jakuchū, whose influence appears in some of his compositions. Working mainly in ink monochrome, he is best known for zenga-style paintings of toads and frogs, and also produced images of Daikokuten and of a white elephant. His work is held by the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the British Museum.
