The Actor Nakamura Utaemon I as a Monk under a Willow Tree

A man in traditional Japanese clothing, wearing a black and white robe, white undergarment, and white socks with sandals, stands on a tan ground with his body turned to the left and his head slightly turned to face the viewer. He holds a large open parasol behind him with one hand and has a cloth bundle on his back. A tree trunk with drooping branches is on the right. The background is a mottled beige color. The image includes a vertical column of Japanese characters on the right side.
