Two Girls on a Veranda beside a Stream with the Moon 1725 - 1770

"Two Girls on a Veranda beside a Stream with the Moon" is a beautiful woodblock print by Suzuki Harunobu, a leading artist of the *ukiyo-e* movement. This print depicts two women on a veranda overlooking a river, under a full moon, with delicately rendered clothing and a soft, romantic ambiance. The *ukiyo-e* style focuses on everyday life and popular culture, particularly the beauty of women. This work is a perfect example of the movement's characteristic use of soft colors, detailed patterns, and a sense of delicate beauty. The print is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
