東都名所 駿河町の図|Suruga Street is a 1836 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting Crowd, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This painting shows a bustling street scene in Japan. People in traditional clothing walk along the street, some carrying baskets or bundles. Buildings with blue roofs and wooden facades line the street, with signs hanging from them. In the background, a mountain rises into the sky, which is colored with hues of pink and orange. The artist has used bold lines and bright colors to bring the scene to life. The use of perspective creates a sense of depth, drawing the viewer's eye into the scene. The overall effect is one of energy and activity, capturing the vibrant spirit of the street.
