Description
Two pigeons—one with dark grey and black plumage, the other pale grey-white—stand on the ground beside a mossy rock, with small flowering plants and grass at their feet. Above them a cherry branch with pink-white blossoms and brown leaves extends across the top of the composition against a soft beige-grey ground. Ohara Koson, *Pigeons and Cherry Blossoms*, woodblock print, 1910.
