The painting depicts a woman in a long skirt and a blue top, with a feathered headdress, standing next to a boy on stilts. The woman is wearing a long, striped skirt and a blue top with a ruffled collar. She has a feathered headdress and is looking at the boy. The boy is wearing a black shirt and white pants with blue stripes. He is standing on stilts and looking down at the woman. The background of the painting is a light yellow color. There are some Japanese characters written on the right side of the painting. The overall style of the painting is reminiscent of traditional Japanese art, with bold lines and bright colors. This painting is a great example of the work of Utagawa Yoshitora, a Japanese artist known for his woodblock prints.
