A yellow canary perches on the curved stem of a drooping purple poppy bud, its beak open as if singing. Two large purple poppies with pale green centres and yellow stamens open beside it, and green buds hang on bristly stems above jagged dark and pale green leaves. Thin blades of grass curve across a soft grey-beige ground. The artist’s brushed signature and a large red round 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.
