French Photographer with His Wife

Utagawa Yoshikazu

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A man wearing a green head covering, black jacket with gold buttons down the front, white pants, and black shoes peers through a camera on a tripod; the man is bending over. A green cloth covers his head and the top of the camera. The woman standing behind him wears a green head covering; she holds a fan in her right hand. She wears a blue top and long green skirt over a pink under-skirt. A small green table with two objects on top sits to the left. The background is tan with black Japanese writing.
