Rain in the Fifth Month.  Ukiyo-e woodblock print.  About 1800, Japan.  Artist Utagawa Toyokuni I 

This ukiyo e was made around 1798 by the Japanese painter Chôkôsai Eishô who was active in the years from 1780 to 1800. Although you might think it is a woman on the first glance the hair dress points out that the person is a man with the rank of a samurai. Falconry was a popular sport in the Edo years.
