Three crows rendered in solid black ink perch together on a diagonal branch that enters from the left. To the right, slender drooping branches hang with small pink-and-white blossoms, and loose petals drift across the pale ground. A faint round moon shows through the haze at the lower left. The birds‘ plumage is built from broad ink strokes, with grey wash modelling their folded wings.
Watanabe Seitei (1851–1918) was a Japanese kachō-ga painter trained under Kikuchi Yōsai. In 1878 he travelled to Paris, remaining roughly three years and becoming one of the first Nihonga painters to study in Europe, and he exhibited at the 1878 Paris International Exposition. He is known for the bird-and-flower woodblock albums Seitei Kachō Gafu (1890–91 and 1916), which paired Japanese design conventions with closely observed, Western-influenced naturalism. His work is held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Minneapolis Institute of Art and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
