Two Young People

Suzuki Harunobu

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Two people, a man and a woman, dressed in traditional Japanese clothing, stand beside a tree. The woman on the left wears an orange kimono with a floral pattern and has her hair styled up with a white hairpin. She is turned to her right, facing the man, with her head bowed and her hands clasped in front of her. The man on the right wears a black kimono with a red and white pattern and a peach-colored robe draped over his shoulders. He has his hair styled up with a black and white hairpin and holds his right arm extended towards the woman. A large tree trunk with visible roots and a few green leaves is behind them. The background is a mottled beige color. The artwork is titled "Two Young People" and is by Suzuki Harunobu.
