横蔵 中村芝翫（収載資料名：豊国画帖）
This is a Japanese woodblock print (ukiyo-e) from an album of actor portraits, made in 1861 by the artist Toyokuni for a publisher named Yamaguchi. The picture shows a kabuki actor in a stylised pose against a dark blue ground, with a white-and-black hair cover, a red face, and a patterned quilted robe. A designer might take from it the bold flat colour blocks, the strong contrast of red and indigo, and the patterned textile of the costume.
