Geese on the bank 1900 - 1930

"Geese on the Bank" is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Ohara Koson. Created between 1900 and 1930, the print showcases Koson's mastery of depicting the natural world with delicate detail and a sense of tranquility. The image portrays two white geese, one drinking from a still pond, the other perched on the bank. The scene is painted in soft, muted tones, with the water reflecting the light and creating a sense of depth and serenity. The careful rendering of the geese's plumage and the ripples in the water exemplify Koson's ability to capture the beauty of everyday life in a minimalist yet poignant style.
