The record names no particular scene, figure, or place, and the "(3)" in the title suggests this may be one entry in a numbered set of related prints. A date of 1750 places it at the edge of the ukiyo-e tradition, which developed from woodblock printing in Edo, where artists portrayed actors, courtesans, landscapes, and everyday life for a largely urban audience. Full-color printing was not yet common in 1750, so the date is worth checking against the sheet itself, since later prints were often labeled with earlier dates. The line work, paper, and any signature or seal would help place it more precisely.
