東海道五十三次 見附|Mitsuki is a 1838 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting boat, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a quiet river scene with a path along the bank. A lone rider on horseback leads a donkey carrying a bundle, heading toward a bridge. In the water, a small boat with two passengers drifts near the shore. Tall trees frame the scene, and the sky is soft and pale. The artist used simple shapes and bold outlines to create depth. The colors are flat but bright, with blues and greens dominating the landscape. Look up Utagawa Hiroshige next to see more of his work.
