Geese in flight 1900 - 1930

"Geese in Flight" is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Ohara Koson, created sometime between 1900 and 1930. The print depicts a flock of geese in flight against a moonlit sky. Koson, known for his detailed and realistic depictions of birds, uses subtle shades of gray to create a sense of depth and atmosphere. The delicate brushstrokes and the graceful movement of the geese give the impression of a peaceful and serene scene. The composition evokes a sense of tranquility and the beauty of nature. The moon, subtly placed in the lower left corner, provides a source of light and serves as a focal point for the viewer's eye. This work demonstrates Koson’s mastery of the woodblock print medium and his ability to capture the essence of the natural world.
