About this work

This woodblock print features a serene scene of boats on a body of water, with a few people and animals in the foreground. The sky above is a soft blend of pink and blue hues, with a few birds flying overhead. In the background, there are several boats with white sails, and a rocky shoreline with trees and buildings. The artist has used a range of colors, from deep blues and greens to soft pinks and purples, to create a sense of depth and atmosphere. The print is rendered in a detailed and intricate style, with fine lines and textures that add to its visual interest. The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
