Yamashiro in de provincie Ide 1857

"Yamashiro in de provincie Ide" (1857) is a woodblock print by Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858) in the ukiyo-e style. This print, held in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a serene landscape with a winding river, a small hill, and a distant mountain range. Three figures on horseback are seen traversing the river, framed by the blossoming cherry trees. The artwork, typical of Hiroshige's later work, exemplifies his meticulous attention to detail and ability to evoke atmospheric tranquility in his landscapes. The delicate use of color and subtle shading further enhances the beauty of the natural scene.
