Context:
|
Tetsuzan was the nephew and adopted son of Mori Sosen, a renowned painter of monkeys. Both men were pupils of Maruyama Okyo, who combined Japanese themes and materials with elements of Western realism. Here, in traditional manner, Tetsuzan rendered his subject largely in ink. The foreshortened posture of the deer, however, and its closely observed anatomy, suggests Tetsuzan's debt to Okyo. |
