Centered in the composition is a sprig of gooseberries, featuring finely defined dark green leaves, berries that transition naturally from unripe green to mature reddish-brown, and exquisitely rendered branches that brim with vitality. As a modern realistic still-life print, it blends the delicate touch of Eastern art with Western realist techniques, embodying the quintessential style of contemporary Japanese nature-themed prints. Taking plants as its medium, the piece conveys the artist’s observations and reverence for natural beauty through its refined color gradations and intricate textures. The limited edition number 196/800 is pencil-marked at the lower left corner of the print, and the artist’s hand-signed autograph is located at the lower right corner. A sticker with the artist’s biography is attached to the back of the frame. The print is housed in a wooden frame with an acrylic panel. The frame shows signs of wear and scratches. Due to age, the cotton paper has developed signs of oxidation and yellowing. The overall condition remains good. - The picture is part of the description.
