Double-leaf from Album of Actor Portraits by Shōrakusai: The image shows a traditional Japanese woodblock print of an actor. The print is rectangular and divided into two sections, a larger blank left section and a smaller right section containing the image. The image depicts a man with a pale complexion, dark hair styled in a traditional Japanese topknot, and a distinctive eyebrow style. He wears a brown checkered garment over a green garment and a white cloth around his neck. The man holds a white cloth to his face with his right hand. A blue paper strip with black Japanese characters is attached to the top right corner of the image. The background of the image is beige with a thin black border around the image and a thicker black border around the entire double-leaf.
