DiaporamaPuppies in the Snow
1792
169.0 x 183.0 cm
Puppies frolic in the snow, their joyful exuberance amplified by the painter’s animated brushwork onthe dogs’ curved tails and wild fur. These paintings were originally created as four sliding door panels but are now hinged to form a pair of two-panel screens. The painting on the reverse of the panels, which depict seven puppies and bamboo (alluding to an ancient Chinese theme known as the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove), is in the collection of the Brooklyn Museum. Following the style of his early teacher Maruyama Ōkyo, especially his naturalistic depiction of animals, birds, and fish, Rosetsu established a reputation as an unrestrained and imaginative painter.
