Rooster and chicken 1900 - 1930

"Rooster and Chicken" is a woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Ohara Koson between 1900 and 1930. This artwork showcases Koson's mastery of depicting the beauty of nature, featuring a white rooster and a grey hen against a serene, pale grey background. The delicate brushstrokes and detailed rendering of the birds' feathers exemplify the characteristic style of Japanese woodblock prints, known as ukiyo-e, often depicting everyday life and natural elements. The subtle presence of bamboo stalks in the background adds depth and evokes a sense of tranquility. Koson's work is highly regarded for its realism and meticulous attention to detail.
