This print shows three people in a garden. A man plays a flute while standing near a fence. A woman in a dark robe leans on the fence, watching him. A child sits on the ground in the corner, holding a basket. The background has bare branches and tall grass. The woman’s robe has subtle patterns, and the fence is made of wooden slats. The artist focused on simple shapes and soft lines. Next, look up Kitagawa Utamaro.
