Boy and Rooster

A boy with dark, swept-back hair and a pale oval face looks directly out at the viewer, dressed in a dark jacket over a white collared shirt, cradling a rooster against his chest with both arms. The rooster's plumage is rendered in mottled, speckled patterning with visible tail feathers fanning out at the lower left, its head turned outward beside the boy's hands. The background is a flat, textured gray with a subtle woodgrain-like pattern, and the print is signed in pencil at the lower right; this is Jun'ichiro Sekino's 1957 woodblock print "Boy and Rooster."
