Subject & Meaning

The print depicts a serene moment between two figures: a standing man in an ornate robe and a seated woman in black, holding a fan. Their calm, focused expressions suggest a performance or dramatic context.

Technique & Style

The composition features bold colors and sharp lines against a plain background, achieved through woodblock printing with ink and color on paper, on a white mica ground. The man's robe displays a mix of dark and light shapes, while the woman's outfit is predominantly black with subtle white accents.
