A mid-Edo period painting by Itō Jakuchū, 'White Elephant and Animals' features a stylised white elephant surrounded by other animals, rendered with a blend of realism and decorative elements.
Itō Jakuchū (1716-1800) was a Japanese painter of the mid-Edo period, known for his detailed and unconventional depictions of animals and plants. He broke from traditional artistic styles, developing his own unique approach that blended realism with decorative elements. Jakuchū's work often featured a playful and imaginative quality, reflecting his personal interpretation of the natural world. 'White Elephant and Animals' exemplifies Jakuchū's distinctive style. The composition features a large, stylised white elephant as its centrepiece, surrounded by other animals, including a dragon and a cat. The elephant's form is simplified and almost abstract, with flowing lines and a sense of movement. The other animals are rendered with a similar blend of realism and stylisation, creating a dynamic and engaging composition. The colour palette is restrained, with a focus on muted tones and subtle contrasts, which adds to the work's overall sense of harmony and balance. The painting's grid-like background is a result of the canvas texture.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
