A tender woodblock print by Ohara Koson, "Monkey with her child" depicts a touching moment between a mother and her baby in soft greys and blues.
Ohara Koson (1877-1945) was a Japanese artist renowned for his woodblock prints of birds and animals. He initially trained in painting, but later transitioned to printmaking, becoming a leading figure in the Shin-Hanga movement, which aimed to revitalise traditional Ukiyo-e techniques. Koson's work combines naturalistic observation with decorative design, appealing to Western tastes while maintaining Japanese artistic traditions. In "Monkey with her child", Koson presents a tender scene of maternal care. The composition features two monkeys, likely Japanese macaques, rendered in soft greys and pinks. The mother monkey, perched on a branch, extends a hand to her offspring, who dangles below. The background is a wash of pale blue, suggesting a misty or snowy environment. The print demonstrates Koson's skill in capturing the texture of fur and the delicate structure of branches, while the overall design reflects the Japanese aesthetic of simplified forms and harmonious colour.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
