近江八景之内 石山秋月|The Autumn Moon at Ishiyama on Lake Biwa is a 1835 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting Moon, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This painting shows a serene landscape with a mountain on the left, a body of water on the right, and a bridge connecting them. The sky is a gradient of blue, with a full moon shining brightly. In the foreground, there are trees and a building on the mountain, while the water reflects the colors of the sky. The painting's use of color and composition creates a sense of depth and tranquility, drawing the viewer's eye to the moon and the bridge.
