The artwork, titled “Two green peacocks on the bough of a flowering tree,” was created by artist Ohara Koson around 1910 in Japan. It is rendered on paper and belongs to the Shin-hanga art movement, specifically within the bird-and-flower painting genre.
In the artwork, two majestic green peacocks are elegantly perched upon the bough of a flowering tree. The peacocks are depicted in intricate detail, showcasing their splendid, multicolored plumage which drapes gracefully from the branch. The background features the delicate and minimalistic depiction of a tree adorned with blossoms, characteristic of traditional Japanese art. The composition exudes a serene and harmonious atmosphere, encapsulating the essence of nature’s beauty and tranquility, as rendered through Ohara Koson’s masterful use of color, form, and texture.
