Islet in the Snow c. 19th century

"Islet in the Snow" is a woodblock print by Utagawa Hiroshige, a renowned Japanese artist known for his landscapes. The print depicts a serene winter scene with snow-covered rooftops and a frozen lake. A small island covered in trees is visible in the center, while a red torii gate, marking a Shinto shrine, stands prominently in the foreground. This work, produced in the 19th century, showcases Hiroshige's mastery of perspective and color, creating a peaceful and evocative view of the Japanese countryside.
