中村芝翫(収載資料名:豊国画帖)

豊国 · 1861 · 錦魁堂 · 1 picture

A Japanese woodblock print from 1861 published by Kikaidō, made by Toyokuni for a picture album, probably in Edo. It shows a kabuki actor having his topknot dressed by an attendant. The print is a bold study of flat colour, striped backgrounds and sharp facial lines that a designer could take for pattern and portrait composition.
