The artwork, titled “Poppies,” was created by the renowned artist Katsushika Hokusai and belongs to the Ukiyo-e art movement. This flower painting is part of the “鳥與花” (Birds and Flowers) series.
In the artwork, Hokusai masterfully depicts a cluster of poppies, showcasing his distinctive style and delicate treatment of botanical subjects. The vibrant orange and cream hues of the poppy petals contrast strikingly with the dark, jagged leaves, set against a subtle, muted blue background. The composition captures the inherent grace and fleeting beauty of the flowers, characteristic of Hokusai’s work and the Ukiyo-e tradition. The intricate detailing and flowing lines exemplify the elegance and simplicity that define the artist’s contributions to the genre of flower paintings.
