Note:
Watanabe Seitei may best be known in the west for renditions of his works reproduced in printed form and in cloisonne by the workshop of Namikawa Sosuke. One of the first Japanese artists to travel in the west, he attended the International Exposition in Paris in 1878 and studied in the west for three years. Early in his career, he studied briefly in the studio of Shibata Zeshin. He was best known for his evocative renditions of traditional themes of birds and flowers. For other examples of Seitei's paintings, see those in the collection of the British Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
The painting generally in good condition with minor soiling, the mount worn and abraded, small paint splotch to upper left; separating from mounting bars, small tear to upper right edge, one silk strap off but present, stains to back of mount.
