Egrets and Kingfishers

anonymous, 1368 - 1644

This pair of paintings depicts the winter and summer with different birds. While they may be viewed as companion pieces, each picture can also function as an independent work. Another possibility is that both originally belonged to a series of four paintings depicting the four seasons.
