A poetic but above all very graphic drawing in this ambitious format (28.5 x 85 cm) depicting a snake in two colours. Probably produced around 1850-1860 at the very end of the Edo period by a small master in the wake of Hokusai and inspired by his mangas. Entirely done with a brush on Japan paper and in a good state of preservation despite its size and age.
