"Two Copper Pheasants and a Wagtail" is a woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Kitagawa Utamaro in 1791. This artwork is part of the album "Birds Compared in Humorous Songs" (鳥を歌に見立てた滑稽), which showcases Utamaro's exceptional skill in ukiyo-e, a genre of Japanese art that flourished from the 17th through the 19th centuries. Utamaro is celebrated for his bijin-ga (pictures of beautiful women), but he also produced a significant number of nature studies, including this album that features various birds.

The print depicts two copper pheasants and a wagtail, rendered with Utamaro's characteristic elegance and attention to detail. The composition is notable for its dynamic yet balanced arrangement, capturing the natural grace and beauty of the birds. The copper pheasants, with their intricate plumage, are positioned in a way that suggests movement and interaction, while the wagtail adds a contrasting element with its more delicate form.

Utamaro's use of color and line work in this print exemplifies the sophisticated techniques of the ukiyo-e tradition. The subtle gradations of color and the fine lines used to delineate the feathers and other details demonstrate his mastery of the medium. The print not only serves as a visual delight but also reflects the cultural and artistic values of the Edo period, during which there was a great appreciation for nature and its representation in art.

"Two Copper Pheasants and a Wagtail" is also significant for its inclusion in an album that pairs visual art with humorous songs, a common practice in Japanese art that aimed to entertain and engage viewers on multiple levels. This combination of visual and literary art forms highlights the multifaceted nature of Japanese cultural expressions during the Edo period.

Overall, "Two Copper Pheasants and a Wagtail" stands as a testament to Utamaro's versatility as an artist and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects with both beauty and precision.
