About this work

This painting shows two figures standing close together in a simple outdoor setting. The person on the left wears a dark robe and a hat, while the one on the right leans in, holding a fan. Behind them, tall grasses sway, and the ground looks wet, like after rain. The figures are drawn with bold black outlines, and their clothes have soft colors—reds, browns, and greens. The artist used ink and color on paper, a common way to make prints in Japan at the time. Look up Torii Kiyonaga to see more of his work.
