東海道五十三次之内 石薬師|Gyosho Tokaido: Ishikushi is a 1842 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting Horse, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This woodblock print shows a snowy scene with a horse carrying a load, accompanied by two people. The horse is brown, and the people wear traditional clothing and hats. In the background, there are trees and mountains. The print features a range of colors, including blues and grays, which evoke a sense of coldness. The snowflakes are depicted in white, adding to the wintry atmosphere. The Metropolitan Museum of Art holds this print, which is a great place to learn more about Utagawa Hiroshige's work and the Romanticism movement.
Utagawa Hiroshige (歌川 広重) or Andō Hiroshige (安藤 広重), born Andō Tokutarō (安藤 徳太郎; 1797 – 12 October 1858), was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist, considered the last great master of that tradition.
