江戸名所 芝愛宕山|Shiba Atogayama is a 1742 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Baroque work, depicting Crowd, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a busy scene with people walking near a big temple. The temple has curved roofs, red beams, and a blue roof. Trees with bare branches stand around, and some cherry blossoms are blooming. A river runs behind the temple, and the sky is light. The artist used simple shapes and bright colors to show daily life. The text at the top is in Japanese, which might describe the place. If you like this, check out Utagawa Hiroshige.
