A man in a dark coat and red hat rides a brown horse through a blue-tinted street. Behind him, a woman in a dark robe holds the horse’s reins. The buildings are simple, with white walls and dark roofs. The sky is bright blue, and there’s Japanese text running along the top. The horse’s saddle is padded red, and the rider’s boots are black. The woman’s face is calm, while the rider looks forward. The print uses bold colors and clear lines. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
