Description

A woman and a small child cross a wooden plank bridge over a narrow stream at dusk, with a leafless persimmon tree hung with orange fruit arching over the water in the foreground. The woman wears a red kimono with a dark blue apron and carries goods slung over her shoulder, while the child, dressed in blue, carries a basket; a thatched-roof village and dark hillside silhouette are visible behind them under a sky gradating from deep blue to pale orange near the horizon. Takahashi Shotei's woodblock print "M-25 Late Autumn in a village- peasant girl" renders the scene in flat passages of indigo, vermillion, and burnt orange against the twilight sky.
