This print shows a seated actor in a blue-and-white checkered robe, holding a red fan. His face is painted with bold white and blue lines, and he wears a black wig. A hand reaches toward him from the left side of the image. The actor’s pose and costume suggest he’s portraying a character from Japanese theater. The checkered pattern on his robe is a classic style in kabuki plays. Look up The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more prints like this.
