The print by Tomioka Eisen depicts a man sitting at a table with a mirror in front of him. He faces right and has short dark hair with two hair sticks. He wears a blue and white striped robe with red dots. The man holds up a small brush to his right eye. On the table before him are several paintbrushes and a palette with colorful paints. To the left of the man is a small inset image of another man in a dark robe standing behind a curtain and wiping his nose with a handkerchief. The background of the main image is beige. There is a small red square seal in the bottom-left corner. A gray color palette is at the bottom.
