More about this artwork

41 (1905)This intriguing work from the acclaimed Japanese artist Kōno Bairei, part of his "Bairei Gafu" series, beautifully showcases two chickens in a natural backdrop. The drawing skilfully highlights the striking features of these birds, with meticulous attention to their feather textures and vibrant colors. A male chicken dominates the foreground, resplendent with a dark plumage that shimmers against the softer, muted tones of the background. Its striking red comb and wattles contrast vividly with its dark feathers, drawing the viewer’s eye to its head.Adding to the allure of this piece are delicate plant elements and faint floral blooms, rendered with equal precision in the upper right corner. These elements not only balance the composition but also depict the chickens in a serene, almost idyllic habitat. The thin, tender branches suggest a spring setting, emphasizing themes of renewal and natural beauty.Kōno Bairei's expertise in traditional Japanese woodblock printing techniques and his deep observation of nature come together in this piece, making it not only a visual delight but a testament to the harmonious coexistence of art and nature.
