六十余州名所図会 武蔵 隅田川 雪の朝|Morning after a Snowfall, the Sumida River, Musashi Province, from the series Views of Famous Places in the Sixty-Odd Provinces is a 1853 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting Morning, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This painting shows a serene winter scene by a river. Snow-covered trees and buildings line the riverbank, with a few boats on the water. In the distance, a pink sky suggests sunrise. A few birds fly above the river, adding to the peaceful atmosphere. The artist's use of color and composition creates a sense of calm and tranquility.
