This 19th-century print, titled "Poppies" is part of an untitled series of flowers created by the renowned Japanese artist Hokusai. Crafted during the Edo period in Japan around 1832, this woodblock print showcases Hokusai's mastery of color and composition. In this close-up view, vibrant red poppies take center stage against a lush green background. Each delicate petal and intricate detail is meticulously captured through the technique of woodblock printing, showcasing Hokusai's skill in botanical illustration. The poppy stems gracefully intertwine with leaves that add depth and dimension to the composition.
