Watching a Cockfight at the Edge of the Veranda

Two women in patterned kimono occupy a veranda with a pink-orange railing, one standing beside a green bamboo blind, the other seated on a green bench; a shaven-headed child crouches between them at the veranda's edge, watching two roosters facing off on the ground below. The palette is muted — olive green, dusty pink-orange, and soft brown-grey tones — with irises and reeds growing beside a grey water pattern in the background. Suzuki Harunobu, "Watching a Cockfight at the Edge of the Veranda," 1762, color woodblock print (chuban).
