Nakatsugawa: Matsumoto Kinsho II - Interesting kabuki portrait of Matsumoto Kinsho II, staring ahead with an unhappy grimace and furrowed brows. His arms are firmly folded across his chest in an anxious manner, and he wears a plum colored rove over a suit of armor. His hair is pulled back into a slender topknot tied with a white cord, with wings of long hair brushed back on either side. The scene above shows a rather desolate looking landscape with a river and tall trees on either side. An expressive character, nicely detailed with fine line work in the hair.

Artist - Toyokuni III/Kunisada (1786 - 1864)
