Lives of Great People of the Occident (Taisei ijin den): James Watt (1736–1819)
Colorful woodblock print of a scene with a man and a woman. The man sits on a stool in front of an open fireplace with a pot hanging inside; he wears a brown jacket, dark pants, and a light-colored hat. The woman stands beside a table, wearing a blue jacket and a red skirt; she has a yellow head covering. The table has an open book and a lamp on it. The background includes a yellow wall with writing on it and a gray wall. The man and woman appear to be in a domestic setting, possibly from the 18th or 19th century. The overall scene depicts everyday life.
