Wintry Landscape with Trees 1833

"Wintry Landscape with Trees" is a hanging scroll created by Uragami Shunkin in 1833. The delicate ink brushstrokes depict a snow-covered landscape with a bridge and a village tucked amongst the trees. Shunkin was a respected artist of the Edo period (1603-1868) who used a minimalist approach to capture the essence of the natural world. The scroll, currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the artistic mastery of Shunkin and his ability to evoke the tranquility of a winter scene.
