Dressed in traditional attire, he sits majestically on a throne within the opulent palace walls. Surrounding him are his loyal attendants and courtiers, their presence emphasizing his esteemed position as a monarch. Each individual is meticulously depicted with intricate details, capturing their unique personalities and roles within the royal court. The artist behind this remarkable piece is Eliphalet Brown Jr. , who skillfully brings life to this historical moment through vibrant colors and meticulous lithography techniques. James Ackerman's expertise as a lithographer further enhances the visual impact of this artwork. This portrait holds significant historical value as it was created during the Perry Expedition to Japan in 1853-1854. It offers us a glimpse into Japanese culture at that time and sheds light on the fascinating Ryukyu Islands' rulership under the regents.
