冨嶽三十六景 遠江山中|In the Mountains of Tōtomi Province (Tōtomi sanchū), from the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fugaku sanjūrokkei) — Katsushika Hokusai

A massive inclined piece of lumber dominates the pictorial space of the print, and a small image of Mount Fuji is encapsulated in the frame of the raised support. Completely absorbed in cutting the trunk into planks, the lumbermen are unaffected by the magnificent vista beyond.
