About this print
Small dark shapes are scattered across a field covered in snow. Behind them, left of center, stands a red two-story Western-style building with rows of tall windows. On the right is a long white building with a small tower on its roof. Between the buildings are low, snow-covered roofs and trees. The sky is gray all over.
The Navy Ministry, in the title, was a government office established in 1872. That year the Ministry of Military Affairs was abolished and split into the Army Ministry and the Navy Ministry.
On the roof of the red building, the pointed gable and the top of the chimney are white with snow. Against the gray sky, the white line above the red wall stands out.
