DescriptionThis pencil layout with color scheme for a color chart depicts two images on one sheet. In the left image, a white man with blond hair kisses a Japanese woman with an elaborate hairdo. Her neck and shoulders are naked. His proper right hand presses into her shoulder. In the image on the right, a caricature of a Japanese man with rabbit-like front teeth, round glasses, mustaches, and slanted eyes, dressed in a blue suit, a black and yellow striped bowtie, and a brown hat faces right to leer at a white woman with blonde hair and blue eyes, dressed in a red coat. She turns to face us in three-quarter view. Her mouth is open and she seems to be looking for a way out.Provenance
