Description: A peasant woman carrying a hoe over a her shoulder and a bucket in her left hand, is standing by the sea shore in front of a long boat. She gazes past a group of people at the near beach, over to the opposite bank of the bay where we see roof tops along a rocky coast line with trees. To the right a village in a hilly area. In the distance the cone of Mt. Fuji is seen. - The woman and the boat were first outlined in red color. A pentimento at top shows a different version of the woman, now walking in a slightly stooping posture. - This drawing represents an early stage in the development of the design when the artist had decided to extend the view farther to the left to add more depth to the picture. The extension is executed on a small piece of paper attached to the left margin.
Condition: very good; with the (for a particular group of Chikanobu drawings) known punch holes along the right paper edge.
