Description
A pale yellow moon hangs low in a dark olive-green sky above the black silhouette of a jagged, rocky island stretching across the horizon. Below it, a band of grey water carries a wavering vertical streak of reflected moonlight, softening into a paler blue-grey band of faintly rippled water in the foreground. The sheet is inscribed with the title "36 Views of Green Island No. 3, Moonlight" vertically at right and pencil-signed "Tom Kristensen 2004" in the lower left margin, identifying it as a mokuhanga woodblock print.
