Trout 1830 - 1840

"Trout" is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige I, created between 1830 and 1840. The print depicts four trout swimming in a stream, their silvery bodies contrasting against the blue water. Hiroshige was known for his detailed and realistic depictions of nature, and this print is a testament to his skill. The work showcases the artist's mastery of perspective and the use of light and shadow, creating a sense of depth and movement. "Trout" is a fine example of the *ukiyo-e* artistic style, which often featured scenes of everyday life, nature, and landscapes.
