From the Minneapolis Institute of Art record
On the right in front of an opened sliding door that provides a view into the garden sits the kabuki actor Segawa Kikunojō III (1751-1810), identified by the butterfly crest on his robe. Kikunojō III was a popular performer of female roles. The older man on the left is the host of the party and could be a kabuki lover who commissioned this painting and is portrayed here. Japan, Asia
