Description
The yellow jonquil — Narcissus jonquilla — is rendered in color woodblock from Hiratsuka's early career, the flower's star-shaped yellow blooms and reed-like foliage captured with his direct carving approach. Dating to around 1919, this color floral study belongs to his earliest experiments with color printing, before the architectural documentation that would define his mature output.
