Chicks and Worm 1900 - 1930

"Chicks and Worm" is a woodblock print by Japanese artist Ohara Koson, created sometime between 1900 and 1930. The print depicts five chicks in a delicate and minimalist style, with a focus on the chicks' delicate features and the soft gray tones of the background. The simplicity of the composition highlights the beauty of the natural world, with a delicate sense of movement in the chicks' postures as they forage for food. Koson was known for his elegant depictions of birds and animals, and this print exemplifies his mastery of the woodblock medium.
