A large lotus opens at the upper left, its petals pale at the base and veined deep pink toward the tips around a yellow cluster of stamens and seed pod. Beside it rise a plump pink bud, a spent grey-green seed head trailing fine stamens and a small bud on speckled green stems, with a furled young leaf below. A broad ribbed dark green leaf fills the background against a pale blue ground; the artist’s brushed signature and a brown seal sit at the lower right.
Ohara Koson (1877–1945) was the leading bird-and-flower (kachō-ga) artist of the shin-hanga movement. Trained in Kanazawa and Tokyo in the Shijō painting tradition, he designed prints from around 1900, first for export publishers and from 1926 for Watanabe Shōzaburō under the name Shōson. Herons in snow, crows on a branch, goldfish and sparrows are drawn with a naturalist’s precision and printed with soft gradations and embossed feathers. His prints are held by the Rijksmuseum, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
