River Gorge in Snow

Utagawa Hiroshige

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image features a serene winter scene. A beige-colored background dominates, with a vertical rectangular artwork depicting a snowy landscape. A blue river flows through the center, flanked by large gray rock formations on both sides, with snow-covered ground and trees lining the riverbanks. Two small red boats are visible on the river. In the foreground, snowflakes fall around the river. A prominent snow-capped mountain rises in the background. To the left, a cluster of trees stands on the riverbank, while a few trees are scattered on the right side. The artwork features Japanese writing in black ink and a red seal. A gray and black ruler is positioned to the right of the artwork.
