About the piece
Created in 1749, this work by the celebrated Japanese artist Itō Jakuchū demonstrates a masterful control of ink wash technique. The organic forms of the peonies are rendered with fluid, confident brushstrokes that contrast beautifully with the structured, reflective surface of the gold leaf, embodying the refined and innovative aesthetic of the mid-Edo period.
