(Fisherman on a boat) 1874

This woodblock print, created in 1874 by the renowned Japanese artist Shibata Zeshin, depicts a fisherman in a boat. Zeshin was a master of the ukiyo-e style, known for its vivid colors and detailed depictions of everyday life. The print uses a subtle palette and delicate brushstrokes, capturing the tranquility of the scene. The text surrounding the image is likely a poem or a story, adding another layer to the artwork's narrative. The minimalist composition and delicate details make this a fine example of Zeshin's artistry.
