"A northern lapwing (Vanellus vanellus sits on a tree stump, one leg drawn in. This print is an excellent example of how the printer has managed sucessfully to transfer the painterly feel of Koson's original design to the woodblock medium. This is especially evident in the swirls of water and the bird's plumage."
