About This Print

Excellent color and condition. The print is currently framed with archival matting and museum-quality glass.

From The Collector

My first Shotei print, discovered while perusing my local gallery. The darkness of the scene definitely drew me to the piece, but there is a serene quality to it that has me imaginging myself as one of the two people walking in the night, guided by the lights of home in the distance.

Provenance

Purchased from the Verne Gallery in Cleveland, OH.
