Young Samurai with a Sword

Comments - Lively portrait of a young samurai wielding a sword in one hand as he flings his other hand up above his head, seemingly caught off balance. He wears a fine suit of armor over a purple and green diamond print kimono, his hair falling loosely over his shoulders and an arrow protruding above his back. The beauty beside him reacts with a concerned expression. Gourds hang overhead against the red sky. Nice expressive figures, detailed with metallic pigment that has oxidized to a dark tone on the beauty's hair ornament.
