This woodblock print depicts a couple standing together, with the woman holding a blue umbrella and a scroll with Japanese writing. The man is dressed in a black jacket with gold buttons and a brown hat, while the woman wears a pink top and a blue skirt. The background of the print is a light yellow color. The print is characterized by its use of bold lines and bright colors, which are typical of the Baroque style. The artist's use of cross-hatching techniques adds depth and texture to the image.
