Description
A vertical print in dusky blue tones shows a vendor's stall with a checkered curtain or banner at right, beside a drooping willow tree silhouetted against the sky. Two small figures stand near the stall — one appears to hold a long pole or rod — while several birds or insects fly across the pale evening sky above. "Insects Seller in Summer Evening," a woodblock print by Takahashi Shotei.
