Two white-fronted geese in snowy landscape, 1900 - 1930

Ohara Koson, a renowned Japanese artist, created this captivating woodblock print titled "Two white-fronted geese in snowy landscape" sometime between 1900 and 1930. The print depicts two geese in flight, one in the foreground with its wings spread wide and the other, slightly obscured, perched on a branch of a frost-covered tree. The subtle grey and white tones, a hallmark of Koson's style, evoke the serene beauty of a snowy landscape, with the distant view of a frozen lake adding to the sense of winter tranquility. This print exemplifies Koson's expertise in capturing the delicate details of nature and his mastery of the woodblock printing technique.
