About this work

This print shows a tall man in a black coat and hat, pointing at something with a stick. He stands on a simple ground, while three small children in bright red and blue clothes watch him. The background has Japanese text and small sketches of hands and a face. The man’s outfit looks old-fashioned, and the print has bold outlines with flat colors. The text around him is likely describing who he is or what’s happening. Look up Utagawa Yoshitsuya to see more prints by this artist.
