Description
Hunter's Moon, Sara Lee's 2020 Japanese woodcut, depicts a wide sweep of grey-mauve sky over gently rolling green hills. A dark, jagged rock formation punctuates the low horizon where the sky meets a pale band of light, while a broad diagonal band of deeper grey cuts across the upper sky suggesting drifting cloud. The palette is muted and restrained—soft greys and olive greens—giving the composition a quiet, overcast mood with no figures present.
