Description
A tall red brick building with a stepped gable and chimneys rises at the center, flanked by dark blue-gray rooftops and chimney stacks under a pale grey sky, with two green-canopied trees rendered in angular, faceted brushwork on either side. In the foreground, a dark trellis-like lattice of crossing black lines suggests a bridge railing or scaffolding over a blue-toned canal or roadway, with arched stonework visible at lower right. The palette is limited to red-orange, slate blue, dark green, and black against light grey, giving the scene a faceted, semi-abstract geometry; this mokuhanga print titled "Amsterdam" by Tadashige Ono is signed in red at the lower right.
