Description
A dense cluster of white, spider-lily-like flowers with thin curling petals fills the lower half of the composition, their pale stems rising from a stippled grey-beige ground. Behind them, a row of feathery reddish-brown flower heads of the same form stands against a gradient sky that shifts from soft peach to pale yellow, with a red seal stamped in the lower right corner. Dawn Blooming II, a 2015 Nihonga painting by Yoshihito Kawase, renders the scene in soft, hazy, muted tones with no hard outlines.
