Description

Three dark, mottled horses stand in a row against a background of thin vertical tree trunks, rendered in grey and black woodgrain-textured ink with a pale grey crescent-shaped moon or hillside shape in the upper left. The composition is horizontal and low to the ground, with fine vertical striations in the trunks and horizontal grain texture in the sky and foreground snow, giving the scene a muted, still, nocturnal mood. *Dusk (Yugure)*, a color woodblock print by Amano Kunihiro, 1957.
