Double-Leaf from Album of Actor Portraits by Shōrakusai: The image shows a two-page spread from a book. The left page has a thin black border and contains black Japanese writing in a handwritten style, filling most of the page. The right page has an illustration of a man with fair skin and black hair. The man has a serious expression and looks to the left. He wears a dark purple robe with a white circular design outlined in black. A thin white collar is visible under the robe. The background of the illustration is beige. A small blue paper strip with Japanese writing is on the right edge of the page. The pages have a beige background and show signs of aging and wear.
