Comments - Handsome portrait of a shirabyoshi dancer performing for a nobleman, gracefully moving her flowing sleeves. She wears an elegant purple robe over another purple kimono tucked into red hakama pants, a sword at her side and a tall yellow court cap tied under her chin. The nobleman sits at right next to a large drum, watching her solemnly, and a red and green striped drapery frames the scene behind her. An interesting subject, nicely detailed.
