「大森朝の海」

The woodblock print shows two figures at a marshy shoreline: one bent forward, wading through shallow water while pulling a flat-bottomed boat by a rope, and a second figure standing upright inside the boat. Bare, leafless reeds rise in clusters from the grey-blue water on both sides beneath a pale, overcast sky, rendered in a muted palette of greys, dull blue-green, and brown. A vertical text cartouche sits in the lower left corner; the work is by Kobayashi Kiyochika, titled 「大森朝の海」, a woodblock print, year unknown.
