Description:
Koson, Ohara- water birds- 1.jpg is: Mallards in Coastal Scene Artist: Koson Format: Oban tate-e: 15.25" x 10.25" Subject: Nine Mallards (Anas platyrhynchos), one standing on a rock, gather near a bank covered in Pampas grass. This is one of the few dated designs of the artist's work (in this case Showa 6[1931]). It is unusual within Koson's oeuvre in that it includes a detailed landscape element. This style is more in keeping with the work of other Watanabe artists such as Kawase Hasui and Kasamatsu Shiro. See 'Crows, Cranes & Camellias' # S7.2 page 146, Cat. 146 page 146. Publisher: Watanabe Date: 1931 Condition: Very fine colors. Full size with margins. Very minor marks and flaws. Generally fine state of preservation. Impression: Very fine impression with gauffrage.
