This small painting of a cycad, a plant found throughout tropical East and Southeast Asia, was once part of a collection of calligraphy and paintings by Ike Taiga that had been pasted onto a pair of folding screens. Later removed from the screens and mounted as hanging scrolls, the paintings included works on album leaves and folding fans. Mrs. Burke acquired eight of them. The present work is thought to date to Taiga’s early thirties.
