Description
A wide river scene at sunset, with a pale orange sun low on the horizon reflected in soft vertical strokes on the water's surface. A bare, wind-bent tree stands on a low embankment at left, with a row of small dark rooftops and a few tiny standing figures along the bank; a long low bridge with multiple supports crosses the water in the middle distance. The palette is muted — soft blue-grey water and sky, brown-toned bank, and pale orange at the sun — giving a quiet, hazy, cold-weather atmosphere, consistent with the title 「隅田川小春凪」(Sumida River, calm of a mild winter day) by Kobayashi Kiyochika.
