Source Description
This painting is intended to evoke the sorrowful bliss of lovers' separation: at dawn, morning glories bloom, the cock crows, and lovers must part. The subject matter was traditional, but Watanabe Seitei--one of the first Japanese artists to visit Europe--traveled to Paris in 1878 and was influenced by the way European watercolorists used color.
