Thank you so much, Guy, for finding these prints. There is no doubt whatsoever on the identity of the actor on my fan painting now. I also found the a different Hirosada print of Utaemon IV playing Oboshi Yuranosuke (this time showing the whole body) in the Tsubouchi museum collection 016-0504.
To me, the fan seems to have been painted by an artist somewhat more delicate and more "classical" than Hirosada. Perhaps a much less well-known artist?
Thank you very much again,
Hiroshi
