Veerboot op de rivier de Sumida 1785 - 1789

This ukiyo-e print by Torii Kiyonaga, titled "Veerboot op de rivier de Sumida," depicts a ferry boat on the Sumida River in Edo (modern-day Tokyo). Created between 1785-1789, the print showcases four figures, including a woman in an elaborate kimono and a man holding a pipe, enjoying the scenic river. The scene is set against a backdrop of traditional Japanese architecture and greenery, emphasizing the daily life and beauty of Edo during the late 18th century. This print, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Kiyonaga's mastery in capturing the grace and elegance of Japanese fashion and everyday scenes.
