This early black-ink print illustrates how hand-coloring was added to enhance the work's appearance. The red-lead pigment (tan) has deteriorated to gray in places. The silk border around the perimeter and a backing are what remain of a mounting, indicating that this work was originally displayed as a hanging scroll.
