小原古邨起先是一名画家，后来在波士顿美术馆馆长费罗娜萨的鼓励下，于1905年左右开始创作。他擅长花鸟画，作为主角之一的天鹅更是频频“登场”。画中的两只白天鹅在黑夜的池塘里滑翔，天鹅的羽毛和在湖里的倒影运用空褶法进行印压，得以呈现出更加立体更加栩栩如生的效果。整体品相完好，其中左上角的一片叶子上的小瑕疵是印刷过程的小疏漏。
 Koson was a painter turned-print maker. He began designing prints in about 1905 after being encouraged by the curator of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. His speciality was kacho-e flower and bird pictures. Here, two swans glide along the surface of a dark pond. This print features beautiful embossed printing in the white of the swans' feathers. There is a minor flaw in one of the leaves, believed to be a result of the print process, but otherwise the condition is very good.
