The lower left corner of the painting has a tripod-shaped seal resembling that of Kano Hideyori. The work appears to have either been made or repurposed to hang as a pair with a painting by Hideyori. --- RELATED WORKS --- CITATIONS --- IMAGES web: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/2015.593/2015.593_web.jpg print: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/2015.593/2015.593_print.jpg full: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/2015.593/2015.593_full.tif
