Egrets in a Marsh, 1887
Ohara Koson
Two white egrets pick their way through tall marsh reeds in a tall, quiet hanging-scroll composition.
White egrets wade and preen among marsh reeds in soft, muted colour. Koson's serene wetland scene, all quiet elegance and open space, shows why his bird-and-flower prints have become such favourites for calm, natural interiors.
What you're looking at
White birds on a pale ground with a few reeds, and a great deal of nothing. The colour range is tiny — greys, a soft green, the unprinted white of the paper doing the egrets.
On a Frame TV
About 1:3, the second most extreme shape here. Matted, with wide margins, or not on a television at all — it is a print that wants to be a print. Very pale and low in contrast; daylight will finish it off.
