"Twee vrouwen en een jongetje op de kade bij een rivier." is a woodblock print by the Japanese artist Katsukawa Shunchō, created around 1785. The work depicts two women and a young boy standing on a pier overlooking a bustling river. The figures are finely detailed, showcasing Shunchō's mastery of the ukiyo-e style, known for its depiction of everyday life in Edo-period Japan.
