Description
A path of packed earth runs along a lakeshore, bordered on the right by a stone-lined water channel and a dense grove of trees rendered in dark brown crosshatching; low grasses and rocks edge the shallow, pale-blue water on the left. Rolling hills in olive and tan tones stretch across the middle ground beneath a pale pink-gray sky with a few horizontal streaks of cloud. The palette is muted—browns, ochres, and soft blues—with no figures present, giving the scene a quiet, empty stillness. Mokuhanga (Japanese woodblock print), "Mountain lake," by Hiratsuka Un'ichi.
