Comments - Attractive scene from the "Tale of Genji" of two small girls on the verandah of a palace, watching as several birds flutter overhead. At bottom right, Prince Genji arrives, peering over the top of a brushwood fence with a fan in hand, his sword bearer following behind him. Blossoming cherry trees frame the view, with a stone lantern on the rocky shore of the water. A charming subject, nicely detailed and softly shaded.
