About this work

This print shows two people riding a single horse. The man wears a green coat, a tall black hat with a feather, and a serious look. The woman beside him has a bright pink face, blue-green robes with cloud patterns, and a fancy headpiece. The horse looks tired, with one front leg raised. The labels in red say "France" and "England," hinting these might be foreign visitors. The artist signed the print in Japanese characters at the bottom.
