About this work

This print shows two people sitting indoors. The person on the left is holding an open book, dressed in a dark outfit with light pants. The person on the right stands, wearing a bright red jacket and a long blue skirt with leaf patterns. Their faces are simple, with bold outlines and flat colors. The print’s title, *Orandajin|Dutchmen*, hints these might be foreigners. The bold colors and clear lines are typical of Japanese woodblock prints from this time.
