Double-Leaf from Album of Actor Portraits

Shōrakusai

Cleveland Museum of Art

Double-leaf from Album of Actor Portraits by Shōrakusai: The image shows a traditional Japanese woodblock print. The left side of the print features a portrait of a man with black hair styled in a traditional Japanese topknot. The man has a pale complexion with pink cheeks and wears a brown kimono with green and red accents. The background of the portrait is beige. To the right of the portrait, there is a strip of paper with Japanese writing on it. The right side of the print is blank except for vertical Japanese writing. The entire print has a black border around it and is mounted on a gray background. The print appears to be old and worn, with visible signs of aging and discoloration.
