Zen eccentric contemplating a fish; Kanô Tsunenobu; Attributed to

Title
Zen eccentric contemplating a fish
Artist
Kanô Tsunenobu
Physical Description
A shabbily dressed figure holds out at arm’s length a small fish. He is completely focused on his catch, and his mouth almost seems to drool. The face, hands, and feet are sketched in a deliberately simplistic way, while the costume is drawn with only a few swift slashes of the brush, and the strokes bleed into each other.

Eve Tempted by the Serpent; Defendente Ferrari; Attributed to

Title
Eve Tempted by the Serpent
Artist
Defendente Ferrari
Physical Description
A nude woman with long hair flowing down her back grasps a tree branch with her right hand and bends it downward in order to more easily pluck the green fruit dangling at its tip with her left hand. Her white body contrasts starkly with the darker tones of the surrounding landscape. The less conspicuous figure of a serpent with the head of a bearded man coils about the trunk of the tree next to the woman and fixes her with his stare.
