名所江戶百景 目黒太鼓橋夕ひの岡|Taiko Bridge, Meguro, on a Snowy Evening is a 4 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Impressionism work, depicting Bridge, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a snowy landscape with a frozen river. Two people walk on a bridge covered in snow. Trees stand bare, and the sky is dark with stars. The colors are soft—blues, whites, and grays. The bridge has a curved shape, and the people look small against the big scene. The artist used simple shapes to show depth. Look up Utagawa Hiroshige next—he made many famous prints like this.
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.
