Snow Landscape

Hashimoto Gahō

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Snowy landscape with mountains, trees, and a body of water. A cluster of pine trees on a low outcropping in the foreground, with a body of water to the left. A steep slope rises behind the trees, covered in snow. A larger mountain or ridge rises in the background, also covered in snow. A flock of birds fly over the scene. The color palette is muted, with shades of gray, black, and white. Japanese characters in black ink and a red seal are visible on the right side. The artwork is framed by a thin gold border.
