Description
A large eagle with brown-and-white plumage swoops down from a gnarled, dark-barked tree toward a fox standing in a rocky river below, its wings spread wide against a pale sky. The scene is rendered in muted greens, browns, and greys, with the tree's twisted trunk and branches dominating the right side of the composition and cascading white water filling the foreground. The mood is tense and dynamic, capturing the instant of the eagle's descent upon its prey. Woodblock print, diptych, 1880, by Kobayashi Kiyochika.
