Hello; I found a triptych which I cannot identify after searching for both the identifying marks and the subject. I believe the center figure is an actor. The setting, landscape with snow and the possibly religious figure and courtesan intrigued me. Any info will be greatly appreciated .

There doesn't seem to be a performance where these actors performed together holding these roles. I think this might br a mitate (mitate are portrayals of actors in imagined or fantasy roles, which they never actually performed on stage)
William Pearl, the creator of Kuniyoshi Project, dates the artist's signature to 1831-1833.

The time span during which the actors held these names is between 03/1832 and 12/1845 (individual dates noted above each name)

I would enjoy discoving the missing roles of this interesting scene and will try to do so if you post sharper images of center and left panels.
