The lower section, a fan-shaped uchiwa-e designed by Utagawa Kunisada, shows two women seated indoors on green tatami flooring. The woman in the foreground rests her chin on her hands and leans forward over a kotatsu (炬燵, heated table) draped with a red-and-yellow checked cloth. A kiseru (煙管) pipe leans against the kotatsu, and a small tobacco stand (tabako-dai, 煙草台) with a burner and pipe tray is placed nearby. A closed book lies on the floor at her side.

The second woman, seated behind, holds a lacquer tray with small yellow objects—possibly sweets, wax sticks, or slips of paper—whose precise function remains uncertain. Both women wear layered kimono with checked and floral patterns, and their hair is styled in the taka-shimada (高島田) coiffure decorated with ornamental kanzashi (簪).

A folding screen (byōbu, 屏風) painted with a pine and stream landscape partially encloses the setting, while a tall paper lantern with exposed flame rises behind it. A sliding shōji screen (障子) to the left completes the interior architecture.

Half-length, three-quarter portrait of kabuki actor Onoe Kikugorō III (尾上菊五郎) with head turned slightly to the right, eyes wide. He wears a pale blue outer robe with a repeating white grid (kōshi) pattern and dark blue butterflies composed of flowers and gibbon monkeys. A white towel with blue stripes is tucked over the shoulder.

He holds a hand drum (tsuzumi) decorated with gilt floral motifs on black and laced with red cords. The background is a framed screen showing a landscape of cherry blossoms on hills set against a red-to-blue gradient sky.

It is possible that all identifying information, including the publisher, censor, date, role, and other details, was written on the reverse side of the print.

Our print is the fourth of the untitled series of fan prints with half-length kabuki actors and a background with a framed painting.
