Vijf vliegende ganzen 1826

"Vijf vliegende ganzen" (Five Flying Geese) is an ink and wash painting on paper created by Nakamura Hōchū in 1826. Hōchū was a Japanese artist known for his skillful depiction of birds and landscapes. This work showcases Hōchū's masterful technique, as he captures the graceful flight of five geese in a minimalist style. The geese are rendered with delicate lines and subtle washes of ink, creating a sense of movement and lightness. The painting, which is approximately 256 mm by 368 mm in size, is a beautiful example of Japanese ink painting, also known as suibokuga, and demonstrates Hōchū's ability to convey a sense of tranquility and natural beauty.
