Aap op boomtak 1900 - 1930

"Aap op boomtak" is a Japanese woodblock print by Ohara Koson, a prominent artist known for his depictions of animals and nature. Created between 1900 and 1930, the artwork showcases a delicate, almost ethereal monkey perched on a willow branch, its soft fur and pensive expression creating a sense of tranquility. The composition is simple yet evocative, highlighting the graceful lines of the monkey and the flowing willow branches. Koson's signature style, marked by subtle washes of color and detailed brushwork, is evident in this print, which is now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection in the Netherlands.
