A Picnic
Sobre a obra
Nas palavras do museu — em holandês
Een rode mat met een shamisen (Japans snaarinstrument) en een picknickset. Net als het gedicht, verwijst ook de afbeelding naar een feestje ter gelegenheid van het bloeien van de kersenbomen. Wanneer de kersenbloesems in volle bloei zijn, zijn er in Japan traditiegetrouw veel feestjes met onder de bomen picknickende mensen.
