oban tate-e, 37.6 cm × 25.0 cm
Excellent impression, colour and condition. A barely perceptible centrefold.
The restrained colouring is typical of beni-girai, avoiding red-dye, and with a yellow ground. The young man with a head scarf appears distracted. The woman, wearing a stellate printed yukata and clasping her arm, is leaning to the side, eyes closed and in the throes of passion. Unsigned as is usual for Shunga prints. Attributed to Shuncho.
