Description
A close-up frontal portrait of a kabuki actor in demon makeup, with a pale white face, deep furrowed brow, wide glaring eyes, and a heavy dark moustache and downturned mouth painted in bold black lines. Long white wig hair streams down both sides of the face in fine wavy strands, and the figure wears a gold and ochre robe patterned with leaf motifs, with clawed fingers visible at the lower edge gripping an object; a dark patterned ground fills the upper right background. A small red seal appears in the upper right corner. This is a mokuhanga (Japanese woodblock print) by Tsuruya Kokei depicting Onoe Baiko VII as the demon of Ibaraki in the play *Ibaraki*; the year is unknown.
