Untitled is a 1790 ink by Chôbunsai Eishi, a Romanticism work, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a group of women in long robes and tall hats walking outdoors. Some hold fans or parasols, while others carry baskets or rest on benches. The background has simple buildings, trees, and a bridge, all drawn with clean lines and soft colors. Notice how the artist uses flat colors and bold outlines to keep the scene clear and lively. The women’s robes have patterns, but the faces stay simple, almost like sketches. Next, look up Chôbunsai Eishi to see more of his work.
