Utagawa Hiroshige

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Woman Walking in the Snow by Utagawa Hiroshige: A woman wearing a long gray kimono with red lining and white and black geta sandals walks to the left. She holds a large tan umbrella with a black rim over her head with her right hand and has her left hand on her stomach. A tree with bare branches and snow on the ground are behind her. The woman and background are on a tan background bordered by a thick brown patterned frame with a thin blue patterned border on the inside edges.
