Impression |
Very Fine.
Skillfully executed "bokashi" shading to tree's limbs and background; extensive deep "gauffrage" to tree's
snow-laden limbs; "gofun" over-printed onto bird's feathers; highly detailed carving. |

Nearly Excellent.
Clean backside. Without margins as published.
(Minor flaws; light toning.) |

Comments |
A striking wintertime image. Reminiscent of Koson's earier works and arguably Keinen's technically finest print. Pre-War image.
Seldom seen.
