Hen and rooster 1900 - 1936

Ohara Koson, a renowned Japanese artist, produced this exquisite woodblock print titled "Hen and Rooster" between 1900 and 1936. The artist's signature in the lower right corner adds authenticity to the piece. The artwork features a striking rooster with a black and gray plumage and a striking red comb, standing proudly next to a white hen, creating a beautiful contrast of color and textures. The delicate lines and the use of soft colors are characteristic of the shin-hanga movement of the early 20th century, which was a revival of Japanese woodblock printing.
