Twee wilde eenden in vlucht 1900 - 1936

"Twee wilde eenden in vlucht" is a woodblock print created by the Japanese artist Ohara Koson between 1900 and 1936. The print depicts two wild ducks in flight against a backdrop of snow-covered reeds. Koson, known for his meticulous depictions of birds, captures the ducks’ powerful wings and the soft falling snow with exquisite detail. This print is an example of the *yōga* style, which blends traditional Japanese techniques with Western influences. The use of subtle colors and delicate lines conveys a sense of tranquility and natural beauty. This print can be viewed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
