A traditional Japanese woodblock print titled Erotic Print by Kitagawa Utamaro. The image depicts a man and woman engaged in intimate activity. The man is kneeling on the left, wearing a long blue yukata with white designs; his head is bent down. The woman sits on the right, wearing a blue and white floral patterned yukata and a red undergarment; she is reclining back with her head tilted upwards and eyes closed. The woman's black hair is styled in an updo; the man's hair is slicked back. Both figures have bare feet. To the right of the couple is a low table with a plant. The background is beige with vertical Japanese writing. The overall composition suggests an intimate moment between the two figures.
