Egrets: "We came face to face…"
Egrets: "We came face to face…"
A white egret bends its long beak towards the water among round water-lily leaves. Delicate plants cross the foreground; above, black branches pass in front of a copper-coloured celestial body.
The greens, muted pinks and greys of the background create the light of the end of the day. The curve of the bird’s back and its movement give this encounter an intimate, almost familiar quality.
The orange nuances of the celestial body reproduce the copper leaf in the original. The print carries a printed reproduction of it above the greens and pinks of the water.
