About this work

This monochrome ink painting shows a twisting pine tree with a thick trunk and sweeping branches arching across the upper half of the composition. Rocky outcroppings sit at the lower left and right, while soft wash-toned hills and a calm expanse of water recede into a pale, misty distance. The work is attributed to Kanō Hōgai and held by the Princeton University Art Museum, and it bears an inscription and red seal impression near the upper right.
