Description
A snow-capped conical mountain rises in the center background beneath a pale gradient sky shading from blue at top to soft peach near the horizon, with lower dark-green hills flanking it on both sides. In the foreground, a frost-whitened field is patterned with dark furrowed lines and dotted with thatched haystacks, alongside a stand of bare and orange-leaved trees to the right of center. The composition is quiet and still, with no human figures present. *Frosty Morning at Nagaoka, Izu (Izu Nagaoka no Asa)*, a color woodblock print by Kawase Hasui, 1939.
