Jonge eenden 1937

"Jonge eenden" (Young Ducks), a 1937 woodblock print by Japanese artist Takeuchi Seihô (1864-1942), depicts two ducklings in a delicate and expressive style. The print, measuring 384 mm in height and 472 mm in width, showcases Seihô's mastery of capturing the beauty of nature through the medium of woodblock printing. The soft, light washes of color and the subtle details of the ducklings' feathers and beaks convey a sense of tenderness and innocence. The simple composition and elegant lines create a calming effect, emphasizing the graceful movement of the birds. Seihô's work is renowned for its realistic and emotive portrayal of animals, and "Jonge eenden" exemplifies his ability to capture the spirit of nature.
