Description

A woman in a patterned kimono stands beside a seated man in formal dress, both rendered in flat colour with fine outline work; a folded green garment is draped over a stand in the foreground and a panel of vertical Japanese text occupies the upper right. The palette is muted—soft blues, ochre, and green against cream paper—with the figures placed at left and the text block balanced at right. Kobayashi Kiyochika, 「花模様 寛永正保頃」 (woodblock print, year unknown).
