A color woodblock print depicts a woman with hairpins in a patterned green and gray robe holding a baby in red. She stands over a dark-skinned, muscular man with hairy limbs lying face down on a tan walkway. He has a red candy on a stick in his mouth. To our left, a dark bell hangs above leafy plants.
