# Lovers Walking in the Snow (Crow and Heron), in Winter

Suzuki Harunobu designed this in 1764–72, aged about 39. It is now at The Met in New York.

Our note:

> A young man and woman share a single umbrella as they walk through falling snow, one dressed in black and the other in white, which gives the print its nickname, Crow and Heron.
