Description
A snow-capped Mt. Fuji rises in violet-blue against a peach and dark-teal graduated sky, set behind dark rolling foothills and a still lake rendered in deep indigo. In the foreground a thatched-roof hut sits among dark shrubs on a pale snowy shore, with a moored wooden boat at the water's edge; no human figures are present. The palette is dominated by indigo, violet, and grey-black, with a red seal and vertical Japanese text in the lower right corner; the scene reads as quiet and still, consistent with the title Mt. Fuji- V2- Winter by Maeda Masao, a woodblock print.
