(Morning glow on the New Year's day) Possibly 1859

"(Morning glow on the New Year's day)" is a Japanese woodblock print by Gessen, a prominent artist who lived from 1721 to 1809. The print, created possibly in 1859, showcases Gessen's mastery of the ukiyo-e style. It features a minimal, delicate composition of two silhouetted pine trees against a subtle background of soft, pinkish light. The print is currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art and measures 7 1/2 x 10 inches. The simplicity and atmospheric quality of the work evokes the tranquil beauty of a Japanese landscape, highlighting the essence of nature in the early morning light.
