Description

A row of wind-bent pines with reddish-brown foliage lines a grassy shoreline bluff, silhouetted against a wide sky of blue-green clouds streaked with warm orange light. Beyond the pines, a pale strip of sea stretches to a hazy blue mountain range on the horizon, with low green shrubs filling the grassy slope in the foreground. The palette is dominated by cool blues and greens set against the warm orange-brown of the clouds and pine needles, giving the scene a quiet, dusk-lit stillness; no human figures appear.

Kawase Hasui, *Setting Sun over Pines, Suzukawa Beach (Tokaido fukei senshu, Matsu no sekiyo (Suzukawa kaigan))*, from the series "Selection of Views of the Tokaido," 1940. Color woodblock print.
