Visual Summary

Brief Description

A smiling, bearded figure holds a fishing rod and a large fish, seated on textured ground

Detailed Description

The image is a vertical woodblock print featuring a stout, smiling figure rendered with bold black outlines and minimal red coloring on a light, off-white background. The figure occupies most of the frame, seated and facing slightly right with a full-frontal gaze. The figure has a round face with closed, smiling eyes, a broad nose, a wide smiling mouth, and a full beard and mustache. A simple band-like head covering is visible. The figure wears loose robes; the sleeves are patterned with geometric shapes, and a circular, stylized floral emblem is centered on the chest. In the figure's left hand, a long, thin fishing rod extends upwards. The right hand cradles a large, scaly fish with a prominent eye and fins, held against the figure's side. The figure is seated on a dark, textured mass composed of abstract, brushstroke-like shapes, suggesting rocks or turbulent water. Red accents are visible on the figure's clothing and the fish.
