About this work

This print shows a woman riding a dark brown horse. She wears a long blue skirt with white stripes, a pink jacket, and a white collar. The horse has a bridle and reins, and the woman holds the reins with one hand while resting the other on the saddle. Behind her, two scrolls hang with Japanese writing. The scrolls mention "America" and "foreign countries," hinting this print might be about someone from abroad. The bold colors and simple shapes make the scene stand out.
