Hollandse vrouw met kind 1861

"Hollandse vrouw met kind" (Dutch Woman with Child), a woodblock print by Utagawa Yoshitora from 1861, depicts a woman and child in European attire. The woman wears a long plaid skirt, a red jacket, and a large, white hat. The child, who is also dressed in European clothing, looks up at the woman with an expression of wonder. The artist uses bright colors and bold lines to create a vivid and striking image. This piece represents a fascinating glimpse into how Japanese artists of the 19th century perceived and depicted Western culture, specifically European fashion.
