Twee reigers in de regen 1900 - 1910

"Twee reigers in de regen" (Two Herons in the Rain), a woodblock print by renowned Japanese artist Ohara Koson (1877-1945), depicts two grey herons standing in a shallow pond amidst a gentle rain. Created between 1900 and 1910, the print showcases Koson's masterful use of subtle colors and fine lines to evoke the tranquility of a rainy day. The herons, rendered with meticulous detail, embody the serenity and grace of Japanese nature. This print, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, is a testament to Koson's enduring legacy as a master of the *ukiyo-e* style, capturing the beauty of the natural world.
