Description
A wide river or embankment scene in muted blue-grey and green tones, dominated by a single sailboat with a tall white triangular sail gliding across calm water toward the left. On the near bank, a cluster of slender dark-green trees stands at right of center, with a small figure in a broad hat working or standing among low bushes at the far right; a distant shoreline with hills runs along the horizon under an overcast grey sky. Kawase Hasui, "Approaching Dusk on Furukawa Embankment" (Kure iku Furukawazutsumi), 1919, color woodblock print, nagaban format.
