DescriptionKabuki actor on the left, facing right, holds a round mirror by the handle in his proper left hand. He wears a white robe with large black polka dots. He doesn’t look into the mirror but to the right, three-quarter face, with an upset expression, his lips slightly parted. The image in the mirror is the yellow head of Mickey Mouse with black hair and the suggestion of ears, a smiling mouth with a red tongue, against a blue background. Behind the hand and mirror, a window with two full and one partial pane.ProvenanceC. Richard Belger and Evelyn Craft Belger, Kansas City, MO;
Their gift to The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City, MO, 2013.
