Een witte ara
ca. 1900
Japanese master Itō Jakuchū was famous for his obsession with observing nature, and this piece shows his incredible attention to detail. A striking white macaw hangs completely upside down from an ornate perch, its feathers meticulously outlined against a deep, dark background. The composition is framed within a perfect circle, giving it the feel of a peephole into a quiet, exotic world.
