Description
A crowded battle scene fills the upper portion of the print: warriors in colorful armor and helmets clash amid banners and a swirling grey-blue cloud or smoke form, with red, white, and indigo garments standing out against the pale background. Below, set apart in a lower vignette, a bearded figure in a patterned robe crouches beside a striped tiger on rocky ground. The print is a woodblock print by Kawanabe Kyosai from the series "One Hundred Pictures by Kyôsai" (Kyôsai hyakuzu), year unknown.
