About the piece

Created around 1798, this exquisite painting by Mori Sosen showcases the artist's legendary skill in rendering the soft, lifelike texture of animal fur. Sosen, a celebrated master of the Maruyama-Shijō school in Edo-period Japan, captures a quiet moment of maternal care with exceptional realism and a serene, contemplative atmosphere.
