Description
Snow-covered thatched-roof farmhouses stand along a curving path in a rural village, with bare and evergreen trees dusted with snow and small conical snow-covered shrubs in front of a bamboo fence. A single figure in dark clothing walks along the cleared dirt path, which cuts through snow-blanketed fields still showing rows of green winter crops. The sky transitions from deep blue at the top through pink and pale lavender clouds near the horizon, suggesting early morning or evening light; the print is captioned "Sunshine after snow at Sekiyado" and signed Kawase Hasui.
