The Erotic Print by Kitagawa Utamaro depicts a man and a woman in a sexual position. The man has black hair pulled back, revealing a partially bald head; he wears a blue garment with a floral patterned robe. The woman has black hair pulled up; she wears a purple robe with a blue collar and red undergarment. The woman lies on her stomach with her back to the viewer; she faces right and rests her head on her folded arms. The man sits on his knees and faces right; the man touches the woman's buttocks. The background is a light beige color with some Japanese writing on the left and right side. The people are on top of green leaves.
