Flock of ducks flying above snowy reed collar 1900 - 1945

This woodblock print, created by Japanese artist Ohara Koson between 1900 and 1945, depicts two ducks in flight over a snowy reed collar. The vibrant colors and detailed brushstrokes are characteristic of Koson's style, often depicting nature scenes with a focus on birds and their natural habitats. The ducks' graceful forms and the gentle snow-covered reeds evoke a sense of tranquility, showcasing Koson's keen eye for capturing the beauty of the natural world. This piece, a testament to Koson's artistry, is an excellent example of his mastery of the woodblock print medium and its ability to convey nuanced emotion and beauty.
