The Actor, Matsumoto Koshiro I 1674–1730 in an Unidentified Role
The image depicts a man in traditional Japanese clothing. He wears a long robe with a black, gold and white color scheme and a geometric pattern. A wide sash cinches at his waist. His hair is styled with a small topknot. The man stands with his left hand raised to his chin, looking to the right. He stands in front of a backdrop featuring plants and a low wall or ledge. The wall is light brown with a darker brown design. The image has a beige background with visible signs of aging, such as discoloration and wear. The overall composition suggests a traditional Japanese woodblock print.
