This is a vintage woodblock print depicting a European man in military attire. The print is on a tan, aged paper with visible wear and tear around the edges. The man is shown in a full-body portrait, facing slightly to the right. He is wearing a dark blue military uniform with gold detailing on the collar, cuffs, and buttons. The uniform includes a high-collared jacket and matching trousers. He has a small, dark mustache and a goatee. On his head, he wears a tall, black military hat with a red band and gold embellishments. He is holding a sword in his right hand, with the hilt visible. The background is a plain tan color, and there are Japanese characters (text) written vertically on the left and right sides of the print. There are also red seal stamps in the lower left corner. The style of the print is reminiscent of traditional Japanese woodblock prints, with bold lines and flat colors. The overall impression is that of a historical or commemorative portrait.
