Japanese woodblock print of a long-haired woman in a blue robe on a veranda overlooking a lake with boats and mountains at dusk.

Evening Bell at Lake Biwa, Woodblock Print by Utagawa Yoshikazu

A woman with long loose black hair stands on a wooden veranda in a dark blue robe, gazing toward a bay with small boats and distant mountains under a dusk sky. A carved railing and a striped floor frame her, and a vertical cartouche with calligraphy sits at the upper left. This color woodblock print is the right sheet of a triptych.
