Mandarin Ducks in Snow Possibly 1854

This woodblock print by Utagawa Hiroshige, titled "Mandarin Ducks in Snow," depicts a pair of mandarin ducks swimming in a snowy pond. The ducks' vibrant colors contrast against the cool tones of the winter scene, with a delicate branch of chrysanthemums reaching into the sky. The print is a classic example of Hiroshige's signature style, known for its delicate lines, muted colors, and evocative portrayal of nature. "Mandarin Ducks in Snow" is a beautiful and serene piece of art that captures the quiet beauty of the Japanese winter landscape.
