「二代目瀬川菊之丞図」|The Kabuki Actor Segawa Kikunojō II as a Woman Reading a Letter is a 1764 ink by Torii Kiyomitsu, a Romanticism work, depicting Actor, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a woman in a dark, patterned kimono holding a fan and a letter. Her hair is styled high with a comb, and she wears a headdress with feathers. The background is mostly plain, but her robe has bright floral designs in gold and green. The poem beside her is written in Japanese, adding a quiet moment of focus. This is a woodblock print, a common way to make art in Japan at the time. Look up Torii Kiyomitsu next to see more of his detailed prints.
