<b>IRIS AND DUCKS</b> / Toshi Yoshida20th Century<B>SOLD</B></em>

Details

In Toshi Yoshida's mesmerizing woodblock print, a serene lakeside scene unfolds with an array of vibrant irises in full bloom. The irises, boasting hues of violet, purple, white, and striped varieties, create a stunning display against the backdrop of tall summer grasses. These elements frame the composition, drawing the viewer's gaze towards the focal point: two ducks gracefully gliding across the still surface of the lake at the top center. Despite the sharpness of the colors, which command immediate attention, the overall atmosphere of the scene is one of tranquility and contemplation. Through Yoshida's masterful depiction, the viewer is transported to a peaceful oasis where nature's beauty flourishes and time seems to stand still.
