"Toneelspeler" is a Japanese woodblock print created by Otsu Matahei in the early 18th century. The print depicts a kabuki actor, a form of Japanese theatrical performance, in a dynamic pose. The actor's bold facial expressions and dramatic gestures reflect the heightened emotions and theatricality of kabuki performances. The simplicity of the black and white ink on paper, characteristic of Otsu-e prints, adds to the overall dramatic effect of the piece, creating a striking silhouette against the light background.
