Description
A single black crow perches on a gnarled, bare branch, its body angled left while its head turns to look over its shoulder toward the viewer. Rendered in solid black ink with minimal outline detail against a plain cream background, the branch is drawn in a few sparse curving strokes with small reddish accents near the lower right; a red seal and columns of black calligraphy appear to the right of the bird. Kawanabe Kyosai, woodblock print, "Black Crow in Rain," year unknown.
