Artist: Ogawa Haritsu, Japanese, 1663–1747, Ducks on a Wintry Pond, 1st half 18th century, Two-panel folding screen, color on dark (possibly indigo dyed) paper, without mounting: 17 1/16 × 52 1/16 in. ( × cm), Like herons, ducks are also associated with winter. In this screen, ducks float in a dark, wintry pond accented by thin, stylized swirls on the surface and framed by a clump of snow-laden leaves. The texture of the leaves under the snow resembles the detailed plumage of the floating ducks.
