About this work

This painting shows three panels of people dressed in colorful robes and hats, walking and gathering by a river. The background has boats, buildings, and bridges. Bright reds, greens, and blues stand out against a light, earthy tone. Notice how the figures’ faces are simple but expressive, and the scene feels lively yet calm. The artist used bold outlines and flat colors, which was common in this style. Check out Katsukawa Shunzan for more about how this artist worked.
