Mandarin Ducks 

This print depicts two Mandarin ducks by famed Japanese artist Ohara Koson. Known for his exquisite depictions of birds, Koson captures the vibrancy and detail of these striking waterfowl. The male duck is a vibrant display of red, yellow, and black plumage, a stark contrast to the more subdued coloring of the female. The composition is simple, focusing on the birds set against a backdrop of reeds and flowers, creating a sense of tranquility. Koson's work is often admired for its meticulous detail and elegant style, showcasing the beauty and grace of the natural world.
