Comments - Nice kabuki portrait of Segawa Roko IV as Koume, the wife of the otokodate or street knight Ume no Yoshibei in a scene from the play "Suda no Haru Geisha Katagi." She stands at the edge of a river, holding a paper lantern out in her extended hand, an angry expression on her face. She wears a striped rust colored kimono over a red under robe, tied with a black obi and a narrow green tie-dyed sash. Her hair is pulled back into a sleek bun with wings at the sides, adorned with a comb and hairpins. A handsome design.

Artist - Toyokuni I (1769 - 1825)
