The actors Segawa Tomisaburō II and Nakamura Manyo are presented here respectively Yadorigi, the wife of Ogishi Kurando, and her maid Wakakusa from the play Hana Ayame Bunroku Soga. Yadorigi's hand rests delicately on her collar, while it is unclear what Wakakusa's gesture suggests... any thoughts? The MET holds an early impression of the portrait.
