French Woman and Girl, from the series Foreign Merchants in Yokohama (Yokohama shōka ijin no zu)
The image depicts a woman and a girl. The woman faces away from the viewer, looking into a mirror. She wears a red top and a long, full plaid skirt. Her hair is styled in loose curls. She holds a small comb in her left hand and appears to be combing her hair with another object in her right hand. The girl stands to the left, wearing a blue top with a brown skirt featuring an orange ruffle at the bottom. The girl looks up at the woman. Behind them is a large mirror with a dark frame. The mirror reflects the woman's image. A green curtain hangs on either side of the mirror. To the right of the mirror is a wall with Japanese writing on it, and a red banner with Japanese characters. The background of the image features a blue-green color.
