The Actor Nakamura Sukegoro I with His Sword Drawn in a Defiant Attitude

The image depicts a man in a fighting stance, with dark hair and a red and white outfit. He wears a red skirt and a white top with red trim. His right arm is bent at the elbow, and his left arm is extended downward, gripping a sword. The sword has a white handle and a long, thin blade. A red object, possibly a sword or stick, is held in his left hand. The man stands on a grassy area, with a bamboo forest behind him. A beige border runs across the top of the image, featuring a landscape with mountains and trees. The background of the image is a muted greenish-brown color. The artist's signature is written vertically on the bottom right side. The overall composition suggests a dynamic and intense scene.
