Here we have a ridiculous yet charming little Japanese Chin completely oblivious of the bird behind them. The artist, Ohara Shōson, is regarded as one of the greatest painters in the Japanese kacho-e (bird-and-flower pictures) tradition. And also, luckily for us, someone with a very fun sense of humor.
