This image appears to be a traditional Japanese woodblock print showing a person operating an old-fashioned camera mounted on a tripod. The individual wears a long skirt or dress with orange and green folds, and a blue garment with blue ribbons on top. This person is also wearing a black jacket and stockings or tight-fitting pants with white and black shoes. There is a small side table next to the individual, with a blue cloth or paper and a bottle on top. The written characters in the top right suggest the inclusion of text, probably related to the content or title of the piece. The artwork exhibits vivid coloration and line work characteristic of ukiyo-e, a genre of Japanese art that flourished between the 17th and 19th centuries. The combination of traditional Japanese style with Western elements, like the camera and clothing, indicates a period of cultural exchange and could place the work in the late Edo or Meiji period when Japan was opening up to Western influences.
