Women in a Landscape

Katsushika Hokusai

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A long, horizontal, old-looking piece of artwork with people and a landscape. The artwork is drawn in black, red, green, and yellow ink on off-white paper. Three women are standing on the left side, wearing traditional clothing, with the two on the right holding sticks. A man in a green outfit is bent over near the water on the center-right. A small man with a large hat is on the far left. In the background, there are trees and rocks on the right side, and a body of water. The painting fades to a lighter color towards the top and has darker spots throughout. A color gradient scale is at the bottom.
