Description

An elderly bald man with a small topknot kneels in profile, dressed in a green patterned robe over a rose-pink patterned undergarment, hands resting near a black-and-gold lacquered box or stand before him. Behind him a red sun sits above a cone-shaped mountain rendered in outline, a hawk or falcon flies at right beside a large pink-and-green folded object, and a green hillock with an eggplant plant appears at left; black text columns occupy the upper left corner. Utagawa Toyokuni I, 1793, color woodblock print (oban).
