森狙仙 Mori Sosen (1747-1821) Painter of the mid- to late-Edo period. He first studied the Kano school, but later switched to the sketchy style with a touch of the Maruyama school, and gained fame as a unique painter specializing in animal paintings, especially those of monkeys. In 1807, after his 60th birthday, he changed his name from 祖仙 to 狙仙. The style of Sosen's paintings, in which humorous anthropomorphic monkeys and deer are depicted with unrivaled detail and skill, is characterized by a modern fusion of stylishness and technicality. with signature and seal 'Sosen' 祖仙 森狙仙 Mori Sosen (1747-1821) Japanese antique art kakejiku kakemono wall hanging scroll / Monkey Mother and Child with Box Whole dimensions: 19.1" W x 74.6" H / 48.6cm x 189.7cm Inside dimensions: 11.8" W x 40.3" H / 30cm x 102.5cm Material: Silk Technique: Handpainted Roller ends: Bone Weight: 610g including Box Condition Antique items have originally crease, stain, damage, and more.
