烏図 長沢蘆雪 一幅 紙本淡彩 18世紀
Rosetsu was born into a low-ranking Samurai family. He entered Maruyama Okyo's studio and became arguably the most talented of the Master's pupils. An eccentric and violent character, he was allegedly expelled from Okyo's studio due to his idiosyncratic manner. After becoming independent he developed his own style. He was particularly fond of animal subjects and like his Master exhibited a gentle and humorous approach to his animal subjects.
