Description
A weeping cherry tree in full bloom dominates the left and lower portion of the composition, its cascading branches rendered as clusters of soft pink and white blossoms against a deep indigo night sky, with dark, angular branches visible beneath the mass of flowers. A pale, textured full moon sits in the upper right, balancing the tree's bulk with open negative space. No figures are present; the print is signed and numbered in pencil below the image (25/100), with the artist's signature and "80" at lower right.
