Description:
Interesting kabuki double portrait featuring Ichikawa Ichizo III as Kaja Yoshitaka and Onoe Kikujiro II as the courtesan Sonohara. Yoshitaka looks over his shoulder with a grim frown, holding the end of a long pipe. His shorter hair sticks up atop his head, with the longer locks pulled into a low ponytail over his back. The beauty looks up at him out of the corners of her eyes with a sly smile, a roll of tissues in hand. Beautifully detailed with a burnished pattern on the black areas of the kimono and embossing on the white kimono collar.
Author:
Utagawa Kunisada 歌川 国貞 (1786 – 12 January 1865), also known as Utagawa Toyokuni III (三代 歌川 豊国, Sandai Otagawa Toyokuni), was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist. He is considered the most popular, prolific and commercially successful designer of ukiyo-e woodblock prints in 19th-century Japan. In his own time, his reputation far exceeded that of his contemporaries, Hokusai, Hiroshige and Kuniyoshi.
