Ardillas recogiendo castañas
ca. 1887
Kawanabe Kyōsai, a 19th-century master often nicknamed the 'Demon of Painting,' brings a lively energy to this scene of squirrels and chestnuts. One acrobat hangs upside down from a branch to inspect the spiky fruit, while the other sits on the ground happily munching on a snack. The delicate brushwork captures the fluffy texture of the squirrels' tails and the sharp leaves, blending traditional Japanese ink techniques with a touch of whimsy.
