Description
A high elevated view over a cluster of rooftops and dense green trees, with an Orthodox church's onion domes and gilded crosses rising near the center of the composition. Muted orange, white, and pink buildings sit among the foliage, with a pale road curving through at right and a hazy blue-green horizon line beneath a sky dominated by large, softly modeled grey-blue clouds. No figures appear in the scene. *View of Moscow*, Kanae Yamamoto, 1912, color woodblock print.
