東都名所 芝増上寺雪中ノ図|Zojoji Temple at Shiba in Snow is a 1828 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting Human Figure, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The painting depicts a serene winter scene, with a large temple building in the background and several trees in the foreground. The temple's roof is dark, and its walls are light-colored, while the trees are bare and brown. In the foreground, several people are walking along a path, some carrying umbrellas. The scene is set against a backdrop of snow-covered hills and a gray sky, with a few clouds visible. The overall atmosphere is one of tranquility and peacefulness.
