Orandajin no zu|Dutchman with Black Servant is a 1 ink by Ichiryūsai Yoshitoyo, a Impressionism work, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a man in a black hat and dark coat standing beside a woman in a bright red dress. The man holds a fan and looks serious, while the woman leans toward him with her mouth open. Behind them, a colorful banner and a red parasol add bright spots against a dark background. The woman’s exaggerated face and loose hair suggest she’s a servant, while the man’s hat and fan mark him as a visitor. The bold colors and flat shapes are typical of Japanese woodblock prints from this time. Next, look up Ichiryūsai Yoshitoyo to see more of his work.
