Original Meiji era Japanese Woodblock Print
Royal Couple and Woman with a Baby

Comments - Unusual image depicting a royal couple in a palace, watching a kneeling beauty cradle a baby to her chest. The man wears a military uniform adorned with a sash and medals, while the woman wears what looks like a wedding gown with a long flowing veil. Pairs of ladies-in-waiting stand in the background, with purple draperies hanging overhead and a stack of books resting on a small round table covered with a red floral cloth at left. A fascinating subject, detailed with metallic silver pigment on the woman's veil and necklaces, and cloth embossing on the veil.
