With its orange or vermilion fruits that grow in late autumn, the Japanese snake gourd is often chosen as subject matter for painting. In this work, Miyake Wakō, a Japanese painter, painted a Japanese snake gourd in a unique composition. Wakō placed the vines as if they flow from top right to bottom left; vines at the top of the canvas with one fruit and another at the bottom with three fruits as an accent. Having a composition that creates an overall vibrant and dynamic atmosphere, this work, at the same time, provides a feeling of serenity with a daurian redstart perched on a branch. The interest of this piece lies in the contrast of motion and stillness that creates an exquisite sense of rhythm on the canvas.
