Dutchman and Child Viewing the Benten Shrine at Shinobazu Pond
A colorful Japanese woodblock print depicting a man and a child. The man wears a blue hat, a long, dark-gray coat with seven red buttons and dark pants. He holds a pipe in his right hand. The child, on the right, wears a blue jacket, white pants and a blue cap. He looks up at the man. A pond with lily pads fills the background, with a wooden fence lining the water on the right. A bridge spans the pond on the left. Trees and hills are on the horizon. The sky above is blue. Two vertical red banners contain writing in a foreign language. The image is bordered by a beige background.
