渡辺省亭 『省亭花鳥画譜』花鳥画|Seitei’s Birds and Flowers Painting Manual

Watanabe Seitei

1891 · Woodblock printed book (Japanese-style binding); ink and color on paper · Asian Art

Watanabe Seitei is Meiji painter, print artist and book illustrator famous for his naturalistic pictures of fauna and flora in the Nihonga style. We earlier acquired a copy of this book through the bequest of Lincoln Kirstein, though this example is in better condition, so it would be good to upgrade so that we have a displayable version.
