Description
Two women lean over the thatched, timber-framed roof of a boat cabin, hoods draped over their piled hair against the cold, one seated with a lacquer tray and covered bowl before her, the other standing and holding a black lacquer box; a third woman, only her head and shoulders visible, sits behind the latticed cabin window below. The print is rendered in muted tan, black, and grey tones with fine black outline work, the water indicated by thin wavy lines filling the background. Kitagawa Hidemaro, 1802, color woodblock print, "Fuyu no Yanebune (Enjoying a River Cruise in Winter)."
