Description
A woman in Western dress with wavy brown hair and a coral necklace walks along a path beneath a large tree, wearing a gray bodice over a striped skirt and a mustard-yellow apron; a boy in a red jacket and green trousers walks beside her, arm raised toward the tree. Behind them a man in a red coat and top hat sits on a white horse, and a body of water and stone wall appear at left under a pale blue-green sky. The scene is bordered by a red-and-gold floral frame; ink and color on paper, 1861, by Ochiai Yoshiiku.
