Description

A shepherdess in a headscarf and long skirt stands at left holding a tall staff, facing a large bird perched on foliage that opens its beak toward her; a butterfly hovers above a flower to her left. Below, four sheep graze behind a wooden fence, with leafy plants filling the lower right corner. The print is rendered in bold black outlines and solid black shapes on cream paper, with no other color; this woodblock print is by Sadao Watanabe (year unknown).
