The Third Otani Hiroji as a Man Clothed Only with a Red Apron

Katsukawa Shunshō 勝川春章

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A man with a large belly and dark hair pulled back, wearing only a red apron with a white circle design on the front, holds a sword in his right hand and a cloth or fabric in his left. The man stands in water that reaches his feet, with ripples around his legs. He is in a gray room with vertical wood panels on the walls. A window with a brown frame and multiple panes is on the left. A brown object hangs from the ceiling. The man's face is red, and his right elbow is bent up.
