Zilverreigers in moeras 1887 - 1945

"Zilverreigers in moeras" is a hanging scroll painting by Japanese artist Ohara Koson, created between 1887 and 1945. The artwork depicts two white egrets standing in a marsh, with a delicate brushstroke that captures the subtle movements of the birds. Koson was renowned for his masterful depiction of birds and his use of traditional Japanese ink and wash techniques, known as *suibokuga*. This painting showcases Koson's skill in capturing the serene beauty of nature, which was a recurring theme in his work. The painting is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
