Beauties on a Bridge

Comments - Attractive scene of beauties pausing as they cross a bridge while a young boy climbs on the railing to look over the side, one woman hanging onto the back of his obi to keep him from falling. Each beauty carries a purple umbrella, and two more umbrellas enter the scene at lower left, the sail of a boat on the water below. Buildings line the distant shore and trees are dotted with white blossoms as the setting sun casts a rosy glow along the horizon. A lovely design with an interesting composition and shading on the water and sky.
