Description
A twilight scene shows two silhouetted figures, an adult and a child holding a lit orange lantern on a pole, standing on a stone terrace with balustrades between massive dark tree trunks. Beyond them a body of water reflects the lights of a distant town skyline under a blue sky with a thin crescent moon visible through the overhanging branches. The palette is dominated by deep blues and grays with the lantern and scattered window lights as the only warm accents; a red seal and Japanese characters appear in the lower left margin. Mokuhanga woodblock print, "Ueno Park," by Koho Shoda.
