About this work

This print shows two women by a lake. One sits on the shore, dressed in a simple kimono, holding her hand to her mouth. The other stands in the water, wearing a wide, decorated skirt and reaching toward her. The background has hills, a small building, and a few people in the distance. The woman in the water has a crab near her feet. The artist used soft colors and clean lines to keep everything balanced. Next, look up Suzuki Harunobu to see more of his work.
