Hans-Olof, thank you very much for posting the second fan.
This painting also depicts Nakamura Utaemon but in an onnagata role. He rarely did onnagata roles so a possible performance should be easier to track down.
Otherwise the onnagata painting is similar in all respects to the previous painting.
I would adjust my dating though, to about 1830-1835.
Cheers,
