Vrouw die naar een vogel kijkt 1900 - 1917

"Vrouw die naar een vogel kijkt" (Woman Looking at a Bird) is a woodblock print by Kajita Hanko, created between 1900 and 1917, and currently housed at the Rijksmuseum. The print depicts a woman in traditional Japanese clothing, gazing up at a bird in flight. She sits at a table with an open book and a palette, hinting at an artistic sensibility. The composition is simple yet elegant, with the woman’s figure filling the right side of the frame. The use of soft colors and delicate lines creates a serene and contemplative mood, typical of Hanko's artistic style.
