木曽海道六拾九次之内 洗馬|Senba Station is a 1836 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting Boat, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This serene landscape painting depicts a tranquil scene of a boat on a river, with a person standing on its bow. The boat is filled with what appears to be soil or sand, and the person is holding a long pole, possibly used for steering or balance. In the background, a few trees and hills are visible, set against a soft, gradient sky. The artist's use of muted colors and gentle brushstrokes creates a sense of calmness and peacefulness, drawing the viewer into the serene atmosphere of the scene. The composition is simple yet effective, with the boat and figure placed prominently in the foreground. The Metropolitan Museum of Art is home to many beautiful works of art, including 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.
