Peony and Bamboo. Artist: Ike (Tokuyama) Gyokuran (Japanese, 1727/8-1784). Culture: Japan. Dimensions: Image: 36 5/8 × 16 7/16 in. (93 × 41.7 cm)Overall with mounting: 68 7/8 × 22 3/16 in. (175 × 56.4 cm)Overall with knobs: 68 7/8 × 24 7/16 in. (175 × 62 cm). Date: ca. 1768.Tokuyama Gyokuran was introduced to the world of the literati early in life. Her mother and adopted mother were both noted poets in Kyoto and were close to the early nanga artist Yanagisawa Kien (1704-1758), a painting teacher to Ike Taiga, whom Gyokuran later married in the early 1750s. Although she began painting well before her marriage, Taiga's influence is apparent here in the technique used to create the broad, trailing contour line of the rock and the pointed bamboo leaves. Based on what is known of her stylistic development, this work is dated to around 1768. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
