#Hiroshige #surimono #print #yearoftheox
Not a typical subject for Hiroshige but an image showing he could equal Hokusai and other ukiyo-e artists in drawing a variety of themes and matching his compositions to the layout of various print formats. The details of the yoke harness and plow are also of interest for social history.
I love the little detail of the farmer's beard shadow. Also the balanced use of gray middle tones to unify the separate elements of the bull the farmers clothings and the mountains in the background.
