Onoe Kikugoro III as Omatsuri Sashichi, 1829 - Nice expressive portrait of Onoe Kikugoro III from a series depicting actors reflected in oval mirrors. He plays the role of the fireman Omatsuri Sashichi in the play "Iro Ichiza Soga Oyose," staring ahead with a worried expression, scowling with eyes wide. He clutches the sleeve of his striped kimono to his chest, a rust colored robe draped over one shoulder. His thinning hair is pulled back into a slender topknot, and a dotted towel is tied around his neck. A handsome design, also in the collection of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.

Artist - Toyokuni III/Kunisada (1786 - 1864)
