Evening Faces by Utagawa Kuniyoshi: A woman wearing a blue headscarf over her head and a long black kimono, stands facing left; she holds a woven basket in her right hand. A white dog stands to her right. Snowflakes fall around them. Birds fly in the background. There is Japanese writing throughout the image. A strip of paper with writing and a blue and orange design is at the top.
