Wilde eend, de kop onder water 1900 - 1930

Ohara Koson, a prominent Japanese artist known for his exquisite bird and flower paintings, created this stunning print titled “Wilde eend, de kop onder water” (Wild Duck, Head Under Water) sometime between 1900 and 1930. This delicate watercolor depicts a duck submerged in a serene pond, with only its tail feathers and feet visible above the water. The subtle blue and gray tones of the water create a sense of calm and tranquility. The print is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
