Description
A single black crow perches on a bare, slender branch that curves diagonally through the composition, its plumage rendered as a solid, glossy black silhouette against a plain warm beige background. The bird is shown in profile, head turned to the left, with fine white lines tracing thin twigs and secondary branches around it. A red seal and black artist signature appear in the lower right corner. "Crow," a woodblock print by Ohara Koson.
