〔江都勝景〕(収載資料名:広重画帖)

広重 · 1 picture

A Japanese woodblock print from an ehon picture album, attributed to Hiroshige (広重) and held in a collection of his sketches of Edo scenery, aimed at a general viewing public. The picture shows a riverside factory or warehouse complex behind a timber palisade, with laden flat-bottomed boats, bundled cargo, and a crowd of figures on the quay. A designer could take its flat planes of colour, layered diagonal perspective along the waterline, and crisp outline drawing.
