ArtistAn elegant fine-stroke brush painting; a full color portrait of an old storyteller talking with the shore birds; close attention to detail, elegant ink and wash, meticulous freehand brushwork, in the style of a Ukiyo-e ghost story, softened with Mori Sosen
A detailed traditional Chinese painting depicts an old man with a long white beard and hair, adorned with golden hair ornaments, sitting on a weathered wooden bench on a beach at night. He is wearing a long purple and black robe. His hands are outstretched as if engaging with the numerous gulls surrounding him. Two gulls stand on the bench beside him, while several others walk on the sandy shore at his feet. Three gulls are shown in flight in the night sky. In the background, the sea is rough and dark, with white-capped waves crashing. Two ghostly figures are visible in the misty air above the waves. To the left, a ruined wooden shipwreck, possibly a fishing boat, is visible in the distance. The overall scene is lit by a prominent full moon in the top right corner, casting a soft glow on the water and through the mist. The painting uses a muted color palette, emphasizing shades of blue, purple, gray, and white.
