Description
A Japanese Ukiyo-e style woodblock print, likely from the Edo period, depicting two male kabuki actors. The figures are shown in dynamic poses, each holding a sword, set against a backdrop resembling a stage. They are dressed in boldly patterned robes, one primarily in red and white checks, the other in blue and black checks. The upper portion of the print features multiple cartouches with Japanese calligraphy, including a red rectangular cartouche on the upper right and a larger black-framed section with prominent characters. Several red seals or marks are visible, including one in a square format above the left figure’s head, and two rectangular marks in the lower corners.
Condition report:
The print exhibits overall paper toning and discoloration, color fading, particularly in the blues and reds, and visible surface dirt, small stains, and foxing. Minor edge wear and small pinholes at the top center are also apparent.
