Kreeft met houtskool 1830s

"Kreeft met houtskool" is a woodblock print created by the famous Japanese artist Totoya Hokkei in the 1830s. This detailed artwork depicts a lobster in striking detail, rendered in shades of brown, black, and white. The lobster is positioned on a dark background with a series of black spots, adding to the visual impact of the piece. Hokkei was known for his mastery of the ukiyo-e style, which focused on subjects from everyday life, including flora and fauna, and this print exemplifies the beauty and detail of the genre. The print, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a small but powerful example of Hokkei's artistic talent.
