Cleveland Museum of Art

Double-Leaf from Album of Actor Portraits by Shōrakusai: The image shows a book with a colorful illustration on the left page and a blank right page. The illustration depicts a man in traditional Japanese clothing. He has a black hairstyle that is pulled back and secured with a white headband. The man wears a pink robe with a purple and green sleeve, adorned with a gold design. His facial expression appears serious, with narrowed eyes and a pursed mouth. The background of the illustration is a beige color. A strip of paper with Japanese writing is attached vertically along the center seam between the two pages. The pages have a beige background with a darker beige border around the edges and a black border on the right page. The pages appear aged, with visible signs of wear and tear.
