Herfst 1890 - 1900

"Herfst" (Autumn) is a woodblock print by Japanese artist Tsukioka Kôgyo, created between 1890 and 1900. This print, now in the Rijksmuseum, features a delicate depiction of autumnal flora, including falling leaves, long blades of grass, and vines with purple flowers, all rendered with subtle detail and evocative color. Kôgyo, known for his refined style, captures the essence of the season through the graceful movement of the plant life, evoking a sense of tranquility and fleeting beauty.
