Vogel in neerwaartse vlucht 1900 - 1930

"Vogel in neerwaartse vlucht" (Bird in Downward Flight) is a Japanese woodblock print created by Ohara Koson between 1900 and 1930. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a single bird in flight against a backdrop of delicate vine branches. The bird's detailed features and the graceful, flowing lines of the vine create a sense of natural beauty and tranquility. Koson was renowned for his masterful depictions of birds and plants, often incorporating traditional Japanese aesthetics into his work. This print exemplifies his artistic skill and the enduring appeal of Japanese nature art.
