Mizuno Toshikata

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A color illustration depicts two men in naval uniforms on a ship. The man on the left has a mustache; both wear black jackets with white pants and black shoes. Their jackets have gold-trimmed black hats and sashes; medals adorn the man on the left's chest. The man on the right holds a sword and points. White smoke billows around them; red explosions are visible in the background. A railing borders the left and bottom right. A color palette is at the bottom.
