Chiura Obata

Full Moon, Pasadena, California
1930

A painting depicting a moonlit night with a full moon centered in the sky, framed by an arched bridge. Silhouettes of trees and foliage are visible on both sides of the bridge, and a misty landscape stretches into the distance below. The artist's signature and a red seal are visible in the lower right corner. The painting has a yellowed border, suggesting age.
