The Third Sawamura Sojuro & the Second Ichikawa Monnosuke as Buddhist Monks
Two bald men wearing traditional Japanese robes sit on the ground. The man on the right sits behind the other; both men wear a similar robe in shades of white, beige, red and black. The seated man sits cross-legged on the floor with his left leg tucked under his right; he holds a white object in his right hand. A yellow ground is visible below the men. A branch with cherry blossoms hangs from the upper right corner over the men. The background behind the men is grey.
