Double-leaf from Album of Actor Portraits by Shōrakusai: The image shows a traditional Japanese-style portrait of an actor. The portrait is on the right side of a double-leaf page. The man in the portrait has black hair, a black goatee and a mustache. He wears a blue, gold and white robe with a high collar. His right hand is raised with the palm facing outwards and the fingers spread. The background of the portrait is a light green color with some blue and gold details. There is a blue label with black Japanese writing on the top right. The left side of the double-leaf page is blank except for some vertical black Japanese writing. The page has a thin black border, and the edges are worn and aged. The background behind the double-leaf page is gray.
