Ichikawa Monnosuke II as a Temple Page

Katsukawa Shunshō

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a Japanese woodblock print of a kneeling woman. The woman is wearing a traditional kimono with a white under-kimono with a circular pattern in shades of gray; the outer kimono is grey with orange accents and a red and orange floral pattern on the lower half. The woman has her hair styled in an updo and is holding a paper or fabric fan in her right hand and a pipe in her mouth. She appears to be kneeling on one knee. The background shows a beige-colored sky and two brown hills or mountains. There are some Japanese characters written vertically on the right side of the image.
