The artist captures the gentle atmosphere of the scene with delicate brushwork, subtle shading, and a refined sense of depth. The calm expressions of the animals and the misty landscape create a poetic mood often associated with traditional Japanese painting. Shosen was known for his skillful rendering of animals and natural scenery, and this work demonstrates his ability to combine fine detail with an overall feeling of tranquility.
