Avondschermering 1890

"Avondschermering" (Evening Twilight) is a woodblock print by Japanese artist Yamamoto Shoun, created in 1890. The work, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, depicts a solitary figure walking across a misty landscape. The muted tones and delicate lines evoke a sense of tranquility and solitude, characteristic of Shoun's style. The single bird flying in the distance adds a sense of perspective and scale to the composition. The image is a striking example of the artist's talent for capturing the subtle beauty of the natural world.
