Suzuki Harunobu's 'Three Boys Making a Snowman'. A woodblock print depicting three boys making a large snowman. The boy on the left is crouching down, gathering snow. The boy on the right is running towards the snowman with outstretched arms. An adult figure, likely a monk or a man dressed as one, stands behind the snowman, observing or helping. A tree with pink blossoms and a thick trunk covered in snow is in the background. The boys are wearing traditional Japanese clothing, with one wearing a dark kimono and the other a lighter one. The scene has a background with a grey sky and a hint of distant mountains or hills.
