A sparrow with a black cap and chin, white cheeks, a pink bill and eye-ring and a pale grey body grips a magnolia branch, its blue-grey tail dropping below large tulip-shaped blossoms, rose-brown outside and white within. Several unopened buds line the branch, their velvety yellow-green sheaths capped with maroon tips, among a few green leaves. The artist’s signature reading Koson and a seal are printed at lower left.
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.
Printed as a museum-grade giclée on Hahnemühle fine art paper using 12-ink archival pigment printing. Available handframed in FSC-certified wood with optional float glass, or unframed. Ships worldwide with free delivery to 30+ countries.
