Flowering Hollyhock c. 19th century

Kōno Bairei's "Flowering Hollyhock" is a beautiful and delicate print of a single hollyhock flower in bloom. The artist, known for his work in the *ukiyo-e* style, captures the subtle details of the flower and its leaves with precise brushstrokes. The print showcases a single, open flower with a pale yellow hue, surrounded by budding blossoms and green leaves. The simplicity and naturalism of the work make it a striking example of Japanese art from the 19th century.
