当世好男子伝 張順に比す夢の市郎兵衛(収載資料名:豊国画帖)

豊国 · 1859 · 1 picture

A Japanese woodblock print from 1859 by Toyokuni, issued as a plate in a picture album of contemporary handsome men, made for a popular audience in Edo. The print shows a costumed actor with a bold, stylized face, a white headcloth and a dark blue patterned robe with a dragon design, set against a bamboo grove; a designer might draw on its flat areas of strong colour, dense pattern and dramatic outlined figure.
