この俳画は、静かな水辺に遊ぶ二羽の水鳥を描いた作品です。水面をはねる様子が生き生きと表現され、筆致の軽やかさが印象的です。特に羽ばたく一羽の動きが水しぶきとともに描かれ、動と静の対比が巧みに構成されています。周囲に配されたススキや水草の描写も簡潔ながら情緒豊かで、秋の風情を静かに物語っています。色使いは控えめながらも、淡い青や黄の差し色が画面に柔らかな明るさを与えており、全体として穏やかで親しみやすい印象を与える作品です。俳画としての完成度が高く、画と文字の調和も美しくまとまっています。
This haiga depicts two waterfowl playing on a quiet waterside. The splashing on the surface of the water is vividly expressed, and the lightness of the brushwork is impressive. In particular, the movement of one of the birds flapping its wings is depicted along with the splashing water, skillfully creating a contrast between movement and stillness. The surrounding depictions of silver grass and water plants are simple yet emotionally rich, quietly conveying the autumnal atmosphere. Although the use of color is restrained, the use of pale blue and yellow gives a soft brightness to the painting, giving it a calm and friendly impression as a whole. The haiga is highly accomplished as a haiga, and the harmony between the painting and the text is beautifully integrated.
