This print shows a bald man sitting on a cushion, dressed in a dark blue robe with black trim. His hands rest on his knees, and he wears a patterned sash over a light undergarment. The background is plain, but the edges of the paper are filled with black ink writing. The bright colors and bold outlines are typical of Japanese woodblock prints. The artist used flat colors and simple shapes to create a clear, striking image. Look up Utagawa Toyokuni II for more prints like this one.
