Description
A rolling green hillside stretches across the lower third of the composition, with a dark rocky outcrop or low mountain silhouetted along the horizon. Above, a muted mauve-gray sky dominates the print, streaked with soft bands of pale clouds near the horizon line and a small red seal in the sky at right. The palette is restrained and atmospheric, with flat, muted tones creating a quiet, overcast mood. Hunter Moon, by Sara Lee (2020), Japanese woodcut.
