Ukiyo-e print of a woman and a man in a garden

This Ukiyo-e woodblock print depicts a serene scene with a woman in a vibrant red kimono standing with her back to the viewer, facing a stone statue. Beside her, a man in a blue patterned robe reclines on the ground, engaged in an activity that suggests contemplation or leisure. The background features a seated Buddha-like figure and other stone elements, hinting at a temple or garden setting.
