Dois macacos com borboleta
1900 - 1945
Ohara Koson, a master of the Shin-hanga movement, captures a tender moment where a large monkey gently examines a butterfly while a smaller, grumpy-looking companion hitches a ride on its back. Koson is best known for his exquisite bird-and-flower prints, which were massively popular in the West during the early 20th century—so popular, in fact, that he often signed his works 'Koson' specifically for export markets. His ability to render the texture of fur here is just as masterful as his feathers, creating a whimsical scene that feels both realistic and dreamlike.
