Acteurs op toneel 1820 - 1830

"Acteurs op toneel" is a woodblock print created by Utagawa Kunisada, also known as Utagawa Toyokuni III, between 1820 and 1830. This "yakusha-e" or "actor print" depicts a scene from a kabuki play, showcasing the elaborate costumes and makeup worn by the actors. The print showcases Kunisada's skill in capturing the dynamism and expressiveness of the actors, as well as his attention to detail in depicting their intricate attire. The print is now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, offering a glimpse into the vibrant world of Japanese theater in the Edo period.
