木曽海道六拾九次之内 三渡野|Santono Station is a 1835 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting Human Figure, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows four people walking through tall grass by a river. One person carries a basket, another holds an umbrella. In the distance, bare trees with pink blossoms line a path, and a small gate sits near the water. The sky is a soft blue, and mountains fade into the background. The grass looks almost like waves, and the trees are leafless except for their bright flowers. This style was made using woodblock printing, where ink and color are pressed onto paper. Look up cross-hatching next to see how artists create depth with lines.
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.
