Welcoming an Officer, 1883 - Interesting scene of a humble man welcoming an officer to his rather shabby home. The man bows before his guest, holding out a small bag in his hands as the solider waves his plumed hat. The officer wears a red jacket and white pants tucked into tall black leather boots, while the man's striped pants are ragged at the edges. A small dog sits quietly at right, and cracks are visible in the walls beyond. A nicely detailed setting. A rarely seen Yoshitoshi design.
