Winter Pleasure Boat Ride, 1895 - Lovely view of beauties enjoying a pleasure boat ride during the winter. One woman stands in the front of the boat, her hand resting on her daughter's shoulder as the girl gestures towards a ferry carrying passengers across the river. On the opposite shore, snow-covered steps lead to the torii gate of a shrine nestled among the trees. Dry grasses frame the scene at left as birds approach, gliding through the air to join the ducks already on the water. A charming scene with the women's colorful clothing adding a lively note to the soft muted tones of the season. Includes burnishing in the black kimono.
