歌川広重画 近江八景の内 瀬田夕照|Sunset Glow at Seta (Seta sekishō), from the series Eight Views of Ōmi Province (Ōmi hakkei) is a 1834 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting Boat, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a quiet waterfront scene with a long bridge stretching across a calm river. On the left, a small village sits by the shore, with a few boats tied up near the trees. In the distance, mountains rise, and the sky glows softly near the horizon. The artist used simple lines and muted colors to create a peaceful mood, focusing on everyday life near the water. The text at the top hints this is part of a series about different views in a region. Next, check out Utagawa Hiroshige to see more of his work.
