Birds and sunset

Birds and Sunset, From Album Of Sketches (1814) is a testament to Hokusai's artistic skill and his ability to capture the fleeting moments of nature with a unique blend of realism and artistic expression. This evocative woodblock print captures the tranquility of a sunset scene with a flock of birds taking flight. The sky, ablaze with hues of orange, pink, and purple, dominates the background, creating a sense of vastness and grandeur. The birds, rendered in a simple yet expressive style, are depicted in various poses, adding a sense of movement and dynamism to the scene.
