More about this artwork
The image depicts a dramatic male figure, presumably an actor in a traditional Japanese Kabuki play, portrayed with striking and exaggerated facial features typical of the genre. His expression conveys intensity and focus, with sharply arched eyebrows, wide eyes, and pursed lips. He wears a black kimono adorned with white, floral crest designs and a blue and red patterned collar peeking from underneath. The actor grips a sword with a detailed and colorful hilt tightly in his right hand, suggesting a scene of action or confrontation. His hair is styled in a typical Edo-period chonmage or topknot. In the background, a small inset scene shows a figure on horseback, likely connected to the narrative depicted or symbolizing an element of the story. Dark silhouetted pine trees against a night sky create a moody and atmospheric setting around the main figure.
