| 解説 | 本作品は六曲一双屏風の画面全体を川面に見立て、余すところなくさざ波を胡粉で描いています。新聞等の挿絵によってその名を馳せた越堂にとって、人物の描写は得意とするところであり、川を身分の異なる様々な人物がわたっていく様子を巧みに描き分けています。越堂は弟の竹坡、国観とともに「尾竹三兄弟」と呼ばれ、明治半ばから昭和初期の日本画界で活躍しましたが、展覧会に出品していた時期は短く、現存例は貴重といえます。 In this work, the entire surface of the pair of six-panel folding screens is treated as the surface of a river, with ripples drawn in Gohun, whitewash. Etsudo, who made a name for himself through newspaper illustrations, was particularly skilled at depicting people, and this work depicts people of different social classes crossing the river. Etsudo and his younger brothers Chikuha and Kokkan were collectively referred to as the Otake Brothers, and the three were active from the middle of the Meiji era to the early Showa era. His works were exhibited for only a short period of time, so the remaining examples are valuable. |
