Description

Transition To Dark (2022), a pastel on paper work by Sara Lee, shows a horizontal landscape with a dark, undulating mountain ridge silhouetted across the lower third of the frame. Above it, a muted blue-gray sky fills most of the composition, crossed by faint diagonal streaks running from upper left to lower right and lightening slightly toward the horizon. The palette is restricted to cool blues and grays throughout, with no figures or structures present, giving the scene a still, dim quality.

Flagging: this doesn't appear to be a Japanese woodblock print — the metadata (contemporary artist "Sara Lee," 2022, pastel on paper) and the image itself (a soft-edged pastel landscape, no printmaking texture, no ukiyo-e subject matter) both point to a mismatched or misattributed record. Worth checking whether this entry belongs in Hanga's database at all before publishing a catalog description for it.
