Mori KansaiJapan, 1814–1894Darf man es sehen?

Es gehört zur Sammlung, ist derzeit aber nicht ausgestellt.
Mori Kansai was the grandson of Mori Sosen (1747–1821), who was famous for his paintings of monkeys—including a work hanging nearby. Kansai chose the same subject for this painting, but his approach was much looser and more spontaneous. Kansai used a wide, flat brush and did not render the hair as finely and meticulously as his grandfather did.
