…by the famous artist Shibata Zeshin
Beautiful lacquer on paper painting of a colorful duck preening it’s feathers by the Japanese artist Shibata Zeshin (1808-1891).
This wonderfully traditional Japanese-style painting shows a duck standing on one leg while he preens some of the feathers on his back. Zeshin provided only a small bit of land for the suck to stand upon making sure that all who gaze upon this painting see the beautiful duck and his lovely feathers.
