This painting shows a man in a colorful robe, with long hair and a bushy tail, standing on a patchwork mat. He appears to be dancing or performing, with his arms and legs in motion. The man's robe is yellow with blue accents and a brown patterned design. To the right of the man is a tall plant with white flowers and green leaves. The background of the painting is a light beige color, with some Japanese writing visible in the top-left corner. The style of this painting is reminiscent of Japanese woodblock prints, with bold lines and bright colors. For more information on this style, look up the Romanticism movement.
