This print shows a man and woman dressed in 19th-century European clothes. The man wears a black top hat, dark coat, and carries a cane. The woman has a red hat, a blue shawl, and a long green skirt. They’re holding hands and seem to be talking. The background has Japanese text, which might be a title or poem. The colors are bright but flat, and the lines are bold. Look up Utagawa Yoshitora to see more work by this Japanese artist.
