本朝名所 相州七里ヶ浜|Seven-ri Beach, Province of Soshu is a 1828 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting Landscape, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This painting depicts a serene beach scene, with a few figures in the foreground and a large wave in the background. The sky above is a warm orange hue, gradually transitioning to a lighter shade towards the top. In the distance, a mountain range stretches across the horizon, with trees and buildings scattered throughout. A group of people can be seen walking along the beach, while a few trees stand tall on the hillside to the right. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of tranquility and peacefulness.
