This print shows a crowded nighttime scene with boats, people, and lanterns. The water is full of small round lights, and a big star shines in the sky. Buildings line the shore, and the whole scene glows with a soft, fuzzy light. The artist used loose, sketchy lines to show movement and energy. It looks like a busy celebration, maybe a festival. Look up Impressionism next to see how this style captures light and life.
