The First Nakamura Tomijuro as an Angry Woman Standing in a Room

Katsukawa Shunshō 勝川春章

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a woman standing in a room. The woman has dark hair tied into buns on either side of her head and wears a yellow kimono with black designs and a green under-kimono with white designs. She has an angry expression, her eyes cast downward and to the left. Her left hand is on her hip and her right hand holds her kimono. A long black hairpiece extends behind her. She stands on a green floor in front of a wall with a grid-patterned window. The grid pattern consists of red lines dividing the window into small white squares. The wall to the right of the window is gray.
