The artwork, titled “Eagle in Descent,” was created by Ohara Koson around the year 1905 in Japan. Rendered on paper, it is a product of the Shin-hanga art movement and measures 36.4 by 19 centimeters. It falls under the genre of wildlife painting.
In the artwork, an eagle is depicted in flight, captured mid-descent with an acute sense of realism and grace. The majestic bird, with its outstretched wings and detailed feathers, is portrayed against a subtle, textured background. The muted colors of the background contrast with the intricate, natural hues of the eagle, highlighting the movement and power of the bird. The precision in the depiction of the eagle’s plumage and the careful composition reflect the meticulous attention to detail characteristic of Shin-hanga, an art movement renowned for its refined depictions of nature. The artist’s signature and seal are present in the lower right corner, adding a traditional touch to this elegant portrayal of wildlife.
