The record names no artist, sitter, or specific scene, so the subject of this sheet has to be read from the print itself. A date of 1750 places it in the early decades of ukiyo-e, the "pictures of the floating world" that Edo-period printmakers made for townspeople, usually showing actors, courtesans, and scenes of city life. Before full-color woodblock printing became common in the 1760s, sheets like this were often printed in black ink and sometimes hand-colored, so the line work and palette are worth a close look. Treat the date as approximate, since catalog dates for prints this old often reflect a range rather than a single year.
