木曽海道六拾九次之内 大井|Ōi Station is a 1837 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting Horse, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a snowy mountain road with travelers on foot and horseback. Pine trees line the path, their branches dusted with snow. The sky is dark, and the ground looks wet and muddy under the snowfall. Notice how the artist used simple shapes and bold outlines to show depth and movement. The travelers look small against the huge landscape, making the scene feel vast and dramatic. Look up Utagawa Hiroshige to see more prints like this one.
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.
